Listing 6. Source code for the program named Mouse01.

/*Project Mouse01 Illustrates how to handle mouse presses and mouse drags. The program displays a black 440x500 graphics window. Pointing to the black area and pressing the left mouse button causes the mouse pointer to disappear and a red filled circle to be drawn at the location of the mouse pointer. Point to the black area and pressing the right mouse button causes the mouse pointer to disappear and a green filled circle to be drawn at the location of the mouse pointer. Dragging slowly with the right or left mouse button pressed produces a wide red or green line (depending on which button is pressed) that traces out the path of the mouse pointer. Dragging rapidly with a mouse button pressed may produce a non-uniform sequence of red or green filled circles that trace out the path of the mouse pointer. Releasing the mouse button causes the mouse pointer to reappear. Pressing the Esc key causes the program to terminate. ********************************************************/ #include <allegro.h> //LOOK!
