Problem while assigning the cell with mouse position

57 views Asked by At

I am trying to create Conway's game of life in C using raylab. I have made the manual version which works fine which is below but when I try to implement the version in which the user clicks the cell and when clicked space button the simulation starts, it fails.

The mouse position is reported in screen units, you should divide them to get cell coordinates and you should test that the resulting coordinates are inside the matrix to avoid undefined behavior writing beyond the array boundaries. Also swap the index variables used for the matrix coordinates as y is a row number and x a column:

        if (IsMouseButtonPressed(MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT)) {
            Vector2 mPos = GetMousePosition();
            int x = mPos.x / cellWidth;
            int y = mPos.y / cellHeight;
            if (x >= 0 && x < COLS && y >= 0 && y < ROWS) {
                if (mat[y][x] != 1) {
                    mat[y][x] = 1;
                   refresh_screen(...);
                }
            }
        }

The logic is somewhat flawed: in the event loop you should

  • track mouse clicks and change the cell value. Beware that your code has rows and columns swapped;

  • track space bar presses and toggle the game running state using a a boolean game_on initially false;

  • run the game logic only if the game is running;

  • fix the x and y coordinate computations when drawing the game for consistency with the source code matrix.

Here is a modified version for you to study:

  • I pushed the refresh rate to 24 FPS so mouse clicks are handled more often, but the game only iterates every twice a second;
  • The space bar acts as a run / stop toggle.
