new challenge

selana

hi guys, i'm looking for a bit of advice.

How complicated is it to write something up which would take an image such as the following:



and allow me to click on any part of it with the following results:

1) a 'score' is generated from where I clicked; and
2) a 'mark' is recorded at the location where I clicked.

Is this very hard to do in a web based environment? I'm looking for a new challenge and thought this might be interesting to do.

Doing simple distance calculations on a vector, and also placing a marker on a absolute (or relative depending on the context) point is quite trivial, but do you need to do this in HTML? A desktop app?

something nested in a php page would be ideal.

I have a nice html solution for this, but will post it tomorrow.

Thanks Giblet.

I presume its straightforward enough then to pick up the 'score' and 'mark' into a php variable?

Draw a circle around the area you want to target. Could make it draw a shape on click too if you wanted.
Some javascript hooks there to get your values. (Could be posted or whatever)

Works on Iphone too
