Mouse frustration!

in general roughly

  • the function mouseClicked() is called when clicking and immediately releasing mouse
  • the function mousePressed() is called (once!) when clicking and holding mouse. To start drag and drop for example or to get a fast reaction to mouse input.
  • the function mouseReleased() is called to end drag and drop
  • the variable(!!!) mousePressed is an inbuilt variable. It is true while mouse is down. That’s good when you use it in draw() to draw continuuesly.

Please check reference for these.
