I can't seem to get mouse clicking to work!
here is the code:


while event ~= "mouse_click" do
  local event, button, x, y = os.pullEvent()
end

I may be going about this all wrong, but we will see…

You're declaring your variables as local to the inside of the "while" loop, meaning that they reset each time it iterates. Try:

local event, button, x, y
while event ~= "mouse_click" do
  event, button, x, y = os.pullEvent()
end
