Is it possible to get rid of the little mouse pointer on the screen? (Maybe with setscreen?) I want to make a game that uses the mouse but be able input my own so that it can change easily Any help would be great |

Anything with OS API (application programming interface) - Win32API in case of Windows. There are many libraries available: C/C++ and VB/C# come to mind. |

What? No... The only way to do this is to write a program to do this in another language, then run it from Turing using Sys.Exec(). |

Quote: The only way to do this is to write a program to do this in another language, then run it from Turing using Sys.Exec(). Gandalf is right, that would be an excellent way of doing that. If u have another language like java at home or whatever then u could do exactly that but guessing ur probably only familiar with turing then theres nothing u can do. |
