Hi there I was just wondering again about my little programme im trying to

make, im having alot of difficulty getting my head around the basic user

Again my idea is that of those games you see at carnivals where these things

pop up (sometimes groundhogs) and you have to hit them with a hammer each

time they pop up, you know the ones.. Well I want to create a programe that

is based on the same idea, with the mouse as the hammer to say, and some

And if that was posible, could each button in the bpatcher allow you to

different times, how else might I go about doing this programme without the

Also something that is bothering me in tutorial 43 is that if you delete the

sub patch they are using in the bpatcher (bouncingbutton) from the directory

which its in, the patch still works ???? Does this happen for everyone....

Also, in that patch could someone explain to me how when they load up the

bpatcher with the bouncingbutton patch, the ony object appears is the

button, no other objects are visible through the bpatcher, regardless of

Simplest solution: use LCD. More sophisticated solution: use JSUI and 

OpenGL. I would presume that any research and programming effort 

would be in a preassigned schedule for and end-of-year project, non?
