Hi, I am creating a game with a moving cannon, the angel of cannon is determined with the location of the mouse in a rectangular box below the cannon. There is no other need for the mouse anywhere else in the game. Is there a way to keep the mouse cursor in a certain area?

Yes, depending on the language you use.

The short answer is: no.

The long answer involves your operating system's API access.

Right. Feel free to ask more questions in the Turing Help forum. (You can also follow the Turing Walkthrough to get ahead and try to implement some more advanced features in your game)
