Not not inverting boolean value

[u9]

Code 1

graphics.initialize
mouse.initialize
system.pause 1000
running = True
Do While running
system.debugPrint mouse.x
mouse.update
running = mouse.leftButton
system.pause 200
Loop

mouse.terminate
graphics.terminate


Code 2

graphics.initialize
mouse.initialize
system.pause 1000
running = True
Do While running
system.debugPrint mouse.x
mouse.update
running = not mouse.leftButton
system.pause 200
Loop

mouse.terminate
graphics.terminate


With code 1 i can keep the program running by holding the mouse button. With code 2 i cannot stop the program by pressing the mouse button. How come? It seems like a bug to me or is there something i am missing?

Well it is not a boolean that is being returned.
It is a value and when you NOT it it turns into someother value.

You want it boolean, I\'ll make it boolean..

Ah, yeah i see that the values returned by the leftbutton etc. are 128. This is maybe something that comes from directx? Anyway, i found a solution by casting the value to boolean:


result = not cBool( mouse.leftButton )


I can imagine that maybe the value is 128 in case one used some kind of touch sensitive input device. Of course i don't think brutus will support such a device so maybe it is best to make the values boolean (this is what the documentation says).

Any thoughts?

made to be boolean in v1.8
