With this code, how do i do this: the amount of time the mouse clicks without the user pressing the button constantly.

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I need to make the user click on the blue circle and evertime they do that it records it, so it gives the results after a certain period of time, however you can just press and hold the button, how do i change this.

Turing:

setscreen ("graphics:vga") var count : int:=0 var x, y : int var button : int := 0 var timepassed : boolean := false var timepassed1 : int := 0 Draw.FillOval (300, 200, 50, 50, blue) loop     Mouse.Where (x, y, button)     if button = 1             then         count := count + 1     end if     timepassed1 := timepassed1 + 1 delay(1)     if timepassed1 > 1000             then         timepassed := true     end if     exit when timepassed = true end loop put "Your score is ", count

Turing:

View.Set ("Graphics,Offscreenonly,Nobuttonbar") var x : int := 0 var mx, my, mb : int var reset, clicked : boolean := false loop     %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%     Mouse.Where (mx, my, mb)     %if mouse is not pressed, and reset is true then reset = false     if mb = 0 and reset = true then         reset := false     end if     %if the mouse is pressed and reset is false then clicked = true and reset = true     if mb ~= 0 and reset = false then         clicked := true         reset := true     end if     %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%     %when the mouse is clicked, do this ->     if clicked = true then         x += 1     end if     put x     View.Update     cls     %sets clicked so that it is only true for one loop after clicked.     clicked := false end loop

The detail to copthesaint's post is that you record the mouse state over 2 instances in time. 2 binary choices give you 4 possible mouse states:

-- clicked down
-- held down
-- released
-- held released

Mouse.ButtonMoved and Mouse.ButtonWait are higher-level alternatives that take care of the details for you, if you prefer.

This is the method I normally use:

Turing:

if button = 1 then     if not clicked then         % your code in here%     end if     clicked := true else     clicked := false end if
