Moving Objects

How would you be able to allow the user to click and move shapes on the output screen... I am tring to create a design thatwill test a young students ability to to put 5 blocks in order from smallest to largest. There will be 5 blocks displayed randomly with 5 boxes below them.. how would I allow the user to click on a box, drag it into a sqare, and have the program know when they have been placed correctly?

You'll have to use Mouse.Where. Check that out in the Turing manual if you're not already familiar with it.

You'll also probably have to do some work to keep track of whether you're grabbing onto a block or not. Why don't you give it a try and post what code you come up with? Or if not that, post some pseudo code. Or just try to talk your way through it. We'll help you out on this, but it's best if you solve the problem mostly by yourself. That's how people truly learn best.

Use Mouse.Where...If button = 1 (pressed) and the x co-ordinate of the mouse and the y co-ordinates of the mouse are inside of the box, then make the x co-ordinate and y co-ordinates of the box = the x and y co-ordinates of the mouse.
