Help with Interactive Periodic Table

Processing Coding Questions
1

Hi?

I’m working on an interactive periodic table, and I want the elements to show their data when my mouse hover over it.

This is what I have:

When I hover over Hydrogen, it appear, and when I continue to hover to other elements it will disappear, but if I continue to hover to the background it does nothing! :grimacing: I know why it work this way, but don’t know how to fix it.

Please help me! This is my first post, so please help! I register my account just to ask this question. Please, and thanks!

Sorry for any grammar mistake.

Hello and welcome to the forum !

Great to have you here!

just set element = “”; prior to testing

If I may say, your program looks beautiful.

You might get leaner code if you would look into Object oriented programming.

Then you would have a class Element and derived from it a list with elements you can for loop over.

Warmest regards,

void checkHitbox() {

  element = "";

  test(1, 1, "H");

Thanks for the warm reply! :brown_heart: :brown_heart: :brown_heart: :brown_heart:
I solved it!
I added more hitboxes around the table so that when my cursor touched them, the variable “element” will turn to “~”(anything that represent “nothing” to you).

P.S. :
Sorry! I’m a noob at classes and arrays!!! :frowning:
