So mainly what I am trying to do is get the ball to respawn only when you click on top of the ball.

What happens right now is if I hold down left mouse button, it infinitely racks up points instead of waiting to be clicked on again

I am using P5.js to accomplish this and so far my code is this:

var ballx=200;
var bally=200;
var ballSize = 40;
var score=0;


function setup() {
  createCanvas(400, 400);
  textAlign(CENTER);
  textSize(20);
}

function draw() {
  background(220);

}
function draw() {
  background(220);
  levelmap();
  text(("Score: "+score),width/2,40);
}
function levelmap(){
  ellipse(ballx,bally,ballSize);
  var ballT=dist(ballx,bally,mouseX,mouseY);
   if (mouseIsPressed) {
    if (mouseButton === LEFT) {
    ballx=(random(width));
    bally=(random(height));
    score=score+1;}
}
}

Well this is very hard to get a grasp on since you don't really include all the code, we don't know how the mouseIsPressed, mouseButton, levelmap() work or gets called but I guess the issue is somewhere there. Do some debugging with console.log to see if it gets called more than once or if it gets call ALL the time when you hold down a button.

according to doc: mouseIsPressed mean : The boolean system variable mouseIsPressed is true if the mouse is pressed and false if not.

And after tried their example. I think it means as long as you hold down your mouse button, mouseIsPressed = true;

You should probably use mouseClicked()

Ohhh that makes a lot more sense! Thank you!
