I've just had a win and am quite ecstatic about it, so I want to share. Warning though - as I'm still a rank amateur and a relative newbie, this is simple stuff for most of you.
I've been battling with the Touch routine, for managing items on the screen. What I was seeing just didn't make any sense, and I've been battling with it now for a couple of weeks. BUT, I've just figured it out. (Spooler alert - this is where you'll slap your forehead and say "Duh")
I've always thought that the Touch routine was referencing the entire screen, so X was the position on the screen from the left and Y was the position on the screen from the top. But after doing lots and lots of round and round, and using a myriad of LOG comments, I've finally realised that X and Y refer to the item you are clicking on, not the whole screen.
Suddenly everything makes a lot more sense. Phew. I could share other dumb things with you, but one for today is enough. Does anyone else have an embarrassingly dumb thing they'd like to share?
