@Killer.Jo - I think you need to step away from coding and think about what it is you want to introduce into your project. Write down all the features. Then you can describe what you want your project to do in the forum.
If you are trying to reproduce a game then just point us to an example.
Give me a little time
If Iām REALLY REALLY good, Iāll do it as a game and publish a lot, maybe also:
A start menu, with many buttons (with start button) when you click on it, so which levels that drove you out of boredom (e.g. a fairly light supermarket simulator) and even further. There is a shop (by the way: it should be 2D) and even further (this should also come with updates)
@Killer.Jo - OK, so looking at this from the outside you would probably need a splash screen (most games do), an intro screen which describes the object records your name (nickname) and explains the objectives and scoring system, the game screen (whatever you have in mind) and finally the hi-score screen to record achievements and possibly gets your name (nickname).
Three of these are relatively easy and then thereās the game screen.
I hope your good with graphics, there are a lot in Codea, but that depends on what you are planning on the game itself.
I would start with those three which would allow you to pick up the basics of Codea and tackle the more difficult game screen last.
Okay, then ill do that
Uhh, I need a little helpā¦ if you solve the problem, then I am ultimate grateful to you 
so if I create a touch (button) and when you click on the touch on it comes, e.g. a new background, but if you click on the touch again, the touch is still there but it should disappear because otherwise it is not a button
@Killer.Jo - OK, post your code and Iāll play around with it.
-- That's an example, so a very very small code
function draw()
background(28)
button = readImage(asset.builtin.UI.Blue_Button_04)
txt9 = "Ronaldo"
text(txt9, 550, 500)
sprite(button, 550, 500)
if CurrentTouch.state == ENDED and CurrentTouch.x >= 450 and CurrentTouch.x <= 600 and CurrentTouch.y >= 450 and CurrentTouch.y <= 600 then
sprite(asset.builtin.UI.Blue_Button_05, 550, 500)
background(255)
end
end
So in this example is a button, if you click on it then another background comes. But when you click on it, the touch is still there, but it should āgo awayā when you click on it (the touch so the if)
@Killer.Jo - just think about the demo with the buttons I posted. For the moment donāt use CurrentTouch - use the function touched(t) function to capture touches to the screen. Also you have definitions in Draw() that should be defined once not every time you run Draw(). Changing values in Draw() is OK to establish change but use Setup() to initialise them.
At an early stage of learning set up your project with Seup(), Draw() and Touched() in.
Iāll try to do this on my PC now so I donāt know how it will run - here goes:
function setup()
--
txt9 = "Ronaldo"
txt10 = "I am scrn 2 !"
scrn = "first"
end
function draw()
--
if scrn == "first" then
background(118, 171, 226)
else
background(76, 255, 0)
scrn = txt10
end
fill(255, 0, 13)
fontSize(32)
font("Arial-BoldItalicMT")
text(txt10,500,500)
end
function touched(t)
--
if t.state == ENDED then
if t.pos.x >= 450 and t.pos.x <= 600 then
if t.pos.y >= 450 and t.pos.y <= 600 then
if scrn == "first" then
scrn = txt10
else
scrn = "first"
end
end
end
end
end
Edit: Mistakes in first stab at this, trying to run something in parallel. Is this OK ?
Edit: posted up working as I thought you wanted.
So actually I wanted when you click on the button that the ābutton touchā āgoes awayā so I mean that you can no longer touch the button and that the background does not ādisappearā when you touch something. That would be super super super super nice of you.
@Killer.Jo - here it is , I hope. You only needed to eliminate the switch back in the touched() function.
function setup()
--
txt9 = "Ronaldo"
txt10 = "I am scrn 2 !"
scrn = "first"
end
function draw()
--
if scrn == "first" then
background(118, 171, 226)
else
background(76, 255, 0)
scrn = txt10
end
fill(255, 0, 13)
fontSize(32)
font("Arial-BoldItalicMT")
text(txt10,500,500)
end
function touched(t)
--
if t.state == ENDED then
if t.pos.x >= 450 and t.pos.x <= 600 then
if t.pos.y >= 450 and t.pos.y <= 600 then
if scrn == "first" then
scrn = txt10
end
end
end
end
end
Thankssss!!! My problem is solved!!
function setup()
--
txt9 = "Ronaldo"
txt10 = "Zum starten auf diesen Text klicken !"
scrn = "first"
r = ""
scrn1 = "first1"
r1 = "1"
end
function draw()
--
if scrn == "first" then
background(118, 171, 226)
else
background(76, 255, 0)
text("Was ist besonders an deinen Noten?", 550, 300)
end
if scrn1 == "first1" then
background(118, 171, 226)
background(0, 96, 255)
text("Was ist besonders an deinen Noten?", 550, 300)
end
fill(255, 0, 13)
fontSize(32)
font("Arial-BoldItalicMT")
text(txt10, 550, 500)
end
function touched(t)
--
if t.state == ENDED then
if t.pos.x >= 450 and t.pos.x <= 600 then
if t.pos.y >= 450 and t.pos.y <= 600 then
if scrn == "first" then
scrn = r
end
end
end
end
if t.state == ENDED then
if t.pos.x >= 500 and t.pos.x <= 350 then
if t.pos.y >= 500 and t.pos.y <= 350 then
if scrn1 == "first1" then
scrn1 = r1
end
end end end end
I tried to create a second button. Unfortunately, that didnāt work out so well, if you can solve the problem I would be very happyā¦ edit: if you solve it, then you can also do that if you click on the button with the text āClick on this text to startā that the second button appears? And how do I keep doing it (so if you click the 2nd button you can click the 3rd button and so on. I hope you manage to explain and ādoā itā:sweat_smile:)?
@Killer.Jo - Iāve played around with this, retained the text as a button and threw a few tidying up in, unused code is remarked out but still present. Hope this helps.

end
Iām going to copy and āextendā the code nowā¦ By the way: this: Whatās so special about your grades I was for fun, no idea just had no ideasš
I have one of my 1000 questions: the first code you sent me, with the code we can solve my problem. And that is the part of the code:
ĖĖfunction touched(t) -- if t.state == BEGAN then var = "Taaaaraaaah!!!!" end end ĖĖ
Can you edit it so that the touch(t) is at a location?
Edit: only a background and the touch
@Killer.Jo - just been playing around with Codea Aircode 2 on my Mac and put this code in with that, but having trouble transferring it too my iPad to check so Iām posting it up as when I thought it would work. Tap in the circle. You should have been able to sort this out from the previous examples. Also you should only get a verbal message of tarah ! from this as it is just to demonstrate the touch.

end
Iāll get it onto my iPad and test it but it coould take me a little time.
Edit: made a couple of changes please check.
Edit: couple more changes now working OK.
Ok ill copy it
Siuu!
Edit: I just copied the code, I didnāt read it. Now Iāve read it, Iām sorry. You can already notice a few mistakes 
could solve oneā¦
@Killer.Jo - no reply, did it give you what you needed.
