Moving the MSX basic cursor with a mouse??

Hi there,

I was wondering if there is a Tool to move a cursor in MSX Basic.

What I mean is when programming a basic file it would be nice to move the cursor around with my mouse instead of these slow cursor-keys. (Guess I'm foolin'around to much in Windows...

So NOT in a game or program but in MSX basic > Screen 0, width 80.

In 'the old days' I used to have a TSR called 'MOUSOR'
(not quite sure 'bout that name!

But... If I remember well this util worked only in 40 column mode.

Anybody???

grts,

I haven't heard anything else but Mousor. Mousor can be found here: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/msx/utils/memman/mousor.tsr

(Seems to be offline at the moment because of bad RAID)

Nyyrikki,

You are completely right! I've tried it and indeed it also works in screen 0 80 columns!

Thnx!

Actually, mousor works in any screen/situation/whathaveyou. I simply reads the mouse input and 'converts' it to keyboard input. It'll work with anything that uses the BIOS to read the cursor keys...

Just a quick Google search and I found this:

10 COLOR 15,4,7:SCREEN 1:KEY OFF
20 XX=128:YY=96
30 SPRITE$(0)=CHR$(224)+CHR$(192)+CHR$(128)
40 S=PAD(12)
50 XX=XX+PAD(13):YY=YY+PAD(14)
60 XX=(XX+256) MOD 256:YY=(YY+192) MOD 192
70 PUT SPRITE 0,(XX,YY),15,0
80 LOCATE 0,0
90 PRINT XX,YY;" ";
100 GOTO 40

Oh yes...

It might be sad, but after 10 years I'm still here... @chipicolo Your program is fine, but it doesn't move cursor, but sprite.

Hummm...
Well... I found a link for a directory that looks as a mirror of that on FUNET.
Perhaps this can help?

But how can I use a TSR file?
