Hello,

I am looking for tips and tricks … more than exemples that i can find… does it exist a collection of solutions for common develloppement need ?  
Ex : Buttons : imgcoord + mouse click or P5 library or distance to center graphic + mouse clic

You knows something to read from time to time. Something different than just make a google search because humans always look for something they have already thought.

Hello @Helron  
Not sure if I am understanding your question correctly. Are you asking if there is an archive somewhere of prewritten code for commonly used function solutions?  
If so, I don’t know whether there is, but perhaps someone else does?  
🙂
