`These two commands are very helpful for getting the 2D positions of the mouse cursor
set cursor 0,30
print mousex()
print mousey()


`This is the position of the current button
text 0,0,"test"

`The first statement tells us that if the mouse cursor x position is between 0 and 40
`and the mouse cursor y position is between 0 and 30, the color of the text will change.
if mousex()>=0 and mousex()<=40 and mousey()>=0 and mousey()<=30
ink rgb(255,0,0),1
text 0,0,"test"
ink rgb(255,255,255),1
`This statement does the same as the above, except it checks for a mouseclick
if mousex()>=0 and mousex()<=40 and mousey()>=0 and mousey()<=30 and mouseclick()=1
text 0,0,"test button was clicked"
`For now, I've only added that text was clicked. This can be replaced with other things.
`Example: gosub level1(or whatever you want to call when this button is clicked
