The code is:
//No user interaction causes no change to application //When the user is interacting cause a change to occur
//Even though the class selected doesn't have a bg color,it also has a class of color with it with a background with it (DO NOT GET CONFUSED) var color=$(".selected").css("background-color"); var $canvas=$("canvas"); var context=$canvas[0].getContext("2d"); var lastEvent; var mouseDown=true;
$("#newColor").css("background-color", "black");
$(".controls").on("click", "li", function(){ //Deselect selcted elements $(this).siblings().removeClass("selected");
//Select the clicked on element $(this).addClass("selected");
//Change the color after ranges
//This sets the color to the neccesary color chosen var color=$(this).css("background-color"); });
$("#revealColorSelect").click(function(){
/*if ( $("#colorSelect").css('display') == 'none' ){
//If element is hidden
$("#colorSelect").show();
// element is hidden
}
else{
$("#colorSelect").hide();
}*/
changeColor();
$("#colorSelect").toggle();
});
function changeColor(){ var r=$("#red").val(); var b=$("#blue").val(); var g=$("#green").val(); var c= r+g+b; $("#newColor").css("background-color", "rgb(" + r + "," + b + "," + g + ")"); }
$("input[type=range]").change(changeColor);
//I need to append an li element with the color in the background of #newcolor //It also takes the same properties as the classes red blue and yellow
$("#addNewColor").click(function(){ var $newColor=$("<li></li>"); $newColor.css("background-color", $("#newColor").css("background-color")); $(".controls ul").append($newColor); });
$canvas.mousedown(function(e){ lastEvent=e; }).mousemove(function(e){ if(mouseDown){ context.beginPath(); context.moveTo(lastEvent.offsetX,lastEvent.offsetY); context.lineTo(e.offsetX, e.offsetY); context.stroke(); lastEvent=e; } }).mouseup(function(){ mouseDown=false; });
Has is been deprecated? Even autocomplete doesn't seem to detect it!

I notice that on the mouseup event, you set the global variable "mouseDown" to false. But on the mouseup event, you do not set it to true. So once you release the mouse, you cannot draw again.
I tested the code and it did exactly that. Otherwise, it seemed to perform as expected for this stage of the development.
