How to make buttons (microScript)

Please tell me a very simple way of making a button that reacts with a mouse cursor with NO LIBRARIES, if I need any additional function tell me how to make it, I always get confused with all this libraries (I'm very new to game programming) For more context: I have a button and a sprite, then I press the button with my mouse cursor, I need the sprite to appear at specific location )

Javascript or microscript

microScript

Oh i got it

So like in microStudio making a button click show a sprite somewhere else is simple You only need to do two things: check if the mouse is inside the button when clicked and flip a "switch" variable from 0 to 1 to tell the game to start drawing your sprite.

Because microStudio draws boxes right from the middle, finding the edges just means taking your center position and moving back or forward by half the width/height.

Heres something you can read and copypaste

init = function() // Button position and size button_x = 0 button_y = 0 button_w = 100 button_h = 40

// Where the sprite will pop up sprite_x = 0 sprite_y = 60

// switch: 0 means hidden 1 means visible show_sprite = 0 end

update = function() // Did they click or tap the screen? if mouse.press or touch.press then

// is the mouse inside the buttons 4 edges?
if mouse.x > (button_x - button_w/2) and mouse.x < (button_x + button_w/2) and
   mouse.y > (button_y - button_h/2) and mouse.y < (button_y + button_h/2) then
   
  // This flips the switch on if its off, or off if its on
  if show_sprite == 0 then 
    show_sprite = 1
  else 
    show_sprite = 0
  end
  
  // Clear the press so it doesnt double trigger
  mouse.press = 0
  touch.press = 0
end

end end

draw = function() screen.clear("#111522")

// Draw the button box and text screen.fillRect(button_x, button_y, button_w, button_h, "#00f3ff") screen.drawText("CLICK ME", button_x, button_y, 14, "#000000")

// If the switch is ON, draw the sprite if show_sprite == 1 then // Just change "cube1" to whatever your sprite is named screen.drawSprite("cube1", sprite_x, sprite_y, 30, 30) end end

(Sorry about the code format breaking idk why that happens)

THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG, IT WORKS!!!

And it's so easy to understand too, thank you again :3

Youre welcome always
