The main difference is that the code to handle mouse clicks has been removed. To replace mouse clicks, a Distance Phidget is used.<\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><pee>When using a Distance Phidget, it&#8217;s important to set the data interval to the minimum as shown in the code above. This will ensure your sensor is as responsive as possible. In this program, you are controlling the position of the alien with the sensor, so you must map the distance range to the window range. You can do this with the following formula:<!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><strong>Y = (X &#8211; A) \/ (B &#8211; A) * (D &#8211; C) + C<\/strong><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>where:<\/pee><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<ul><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<li>A and B are the range of the Distance Phidget (0 to 1300mm)<\/li>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<li>C and D are the range of values you want to map to (0 to HEIGHT)<\/li>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<li>X is the current value that falls between A and B<\/li>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<li>Y is the value you are looking for that falls between C and D<\/li>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/ul>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><pee>You also may have noticed that in the mapDistance method, error handling is used. This is because distance sensors will throw an error when there is no object in their path. By surrounding the statement with a try-except, you are able to catch the error and move on.<\/pee>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.1&#8243; box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_vertical_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_blur_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; box_shadow_spread_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; vertical_offset_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; horizontal_offset_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; module_id=&#8221;practice&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;3_4&#8243;][et_pb_code admin_label=&#8221;Practice&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.6&#8243; box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_vertical_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_blur_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; box_shadow_spread_tablet=&#8221;0px&#8221; vertical_offset_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; horizontal_offset_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>Practice<\/h2>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<ol><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<li>Try commenting out the section of your code that sets the data interval.
