hey

okay so I'm kinda new to game development

so I have this game where I need to switch turns after each mouse click the way I forth I cut due this was to put this code inside the update part


if((mouseX>25&&mouseX<195)&&(mouseY<605&&mouseY>435)){
if(Mouse.isButtonDown(0)){
if(playTurn ==1){
places[1] = 1;
playTurn = 2;


}else if(playTurn ==2){
places[1] = 2;
playTurn = 1;


}else{

}
}


}



but it's simply updating to fast so when the user holds down the mouse button / clicking slow it don't just switch turn 1 time but maybe 100 times witch I don't want I need it to only switch turn one pre click no matter what  how can I do this ??
have been traying to fix this bay using thread but i'm not good at using threads so can't get it working

sry for my english

Something along these lines maybe:


if(Mouse.isButtonDown(0)) {
click = true;
} else if(click) {
click = false;
//if(playTurn == 1)...
}


Where click is a boolean outside your function:


boolean click = false;


I think you need to switch the turns when the mouse button is released, not down. The problem is your loop is updating so many times while the mouse button is down that it switches the turn 100+ times before the user lets the button up.
