I'm not that experienced in qbasic, and I was wondering if there is a very simple way to get the mouse coordinates and/or info on which button is being pressed in qbasic. I read a little bit on interrupts, but I don't quite know how to use those. Any help would be appreciated.

i wrote a mouse library that does everything you want, i think. assuming you know how to use a library you can get it here .
below are teh commands and what they do
mouseinit-turns mouse on
showmouse-shows mouse
hidemouse-hides mouse
mousey-gives mouse y coordinate
hiresmousex-gives mouse x coordinate in screens 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12
lowresmousex-gives mouse x coordinates in screens 1, 7, and 13
positionmouse (x,y)-positions mouse at coordinates (x,y)
mousexrange (min,max)-sets the mouse x range to the min and the max
mouseyrange (min,max)-sets the mouse y range to the min and the max
mousebutton-returns 0 if no button is pressed, return 1 if the left mouses button is pressed, and returns 2 if the right mouse button is pressed
thats all their is, be sure to put
'$include: 'ssmouse.bi'
at the beggining of your program

No... QBasic has NO "Built-In" mouse functions...
You have to use "In-Line Machine Code" or assembly to directly access the Hardware to imort data into Qbasic about the mouse...
It is Complicated... yet fairly simple to use...
A library is a "Add-In" type of extended procedures and functions... Or precompiled (Into Machine language Binary) code that the computer can understand and execute.
Basically someone writes the code and compiles it...
(You need to find out if you have QBasic or QuickBasic 4.5 (QB 4.5))
...then load it into QB using QB /Lfilename.qlb
where filename.qlb is the quick library (*.QLB) that qbasic reads...
to Compile A QB program into an executable (EXE) you need QuickBasic 4.5, a linkable library (*.LIB) file for the qlb and a Basic Include File (*.BI) which defines the Subs/Functions in a LIB/QLB file.
QB45 Compiles your program into a binary object file (*.OBJ)
the linker (LINK.EXE) links the Object file (*.OBJ) with the library (*.LIB) to create a stand alone EXE file
A standard library has 3 files...
file.LIB - The main Library that links to the object file to make a stand alone EXE
file.QLB - The QuickLibrary that is simular to a DLL for runtime use in QB.
file.BI - Th Basic include file that tells your program what is in the Library and how to use it.
I suggest you go to my site and download my MMSINPUT
Master Mind Soft Input
It includes MultiKey input, Mouse input, and a Game Pad input examples...
It should not require any libraries for QBasic and only the standard library for QB45... (start with QB/L)
go to the QBasic Page and it should be at the bottom of the file list...
I will post it on the forum in a second...

This is the Code that makes the mouse work:
55 89 e5 8b 5e 0c 8b 07 50 8b 5e 0a 8b 07 50 8b
5e 08 8b 0f 8b 5e 06 8b 17 5b 58 1e 07 cd 33 53
8b 5e 0c 89 07 58 8b 5e 0a 89 07 8b 5e 08 89 0f
8b 5e 06 89 17 5d ca 08 00
which is Binary Code That a string ((Mouse$), and passed to Call Absolute in QB by an address of type integer (MOUSE%)
Sub MSDRIVER(AX, BX, CX, DX)
DEF SEG = VARSEG(MOUSE$)
MOUSE% = SADD((MOUSE$)
Call ABSOLUTE(AX, BX, CX, DX, MOUSE%)
End Sub
AX, BX, CX, and DX are Registers that are used like variables in assembly and machine language and actually exist IN your CPU processor (not memory).
the binary code at the top of the post assigns/returns values to/through these registers via Call Absolute.
If you want to know what the actual Code looks like... you can use an "ancient" program found on most computers since the 80's called Debug... and uncompile the Binary Code into a somewhat readable assembly code.
(This code was actually written in and assembled in DEBUG)
This is what a dump of the unassembled code looks like in DEBUG...
Notice Above, the Memory Address to the left shows where the Bytes are stored, The Next number is the HexCode at that address, the next string is the Assembly code that the Hex code represents... Notice for Exampe... that every 58 is a POP AX and 8B07 is MOV AX,[BX]... These are also know as OP-Codes or Operation Codes for the Operating system (Dos/Window OS)
Below is the ASSEMBLY CODE ripped from the dump that actually controls the mouse data...
Notice All the AX, BX, CX, and DX registers used...
the Stack is like a virtual stack of values push'ed from and pop'ed to registers where... the first thing you POP is the last thing you PUSHed... in other words... if AX is 1 and BX is 2 if you PUSH AX (1) then PUSH BX (2) then POP AX and POP BX... AX will now be 2 and BX will equal 1... this is how you store and swap values in Assembly...
MOV is Like Equal...It Copies A Value to A register
MOV AX,BX is like AX = BX... if AX = 1 & BX = 2...
MOV AX,BX ... now AX = 2 and BX = 2
you can also say MOV AX, 3 then AX will = 3
well it's 1am and I'm getting tired...
Hope you learn something from this;-)...
