Is it valid to have two buttons with mouse input?

thanks

Hi Aman. Yes, you are allowed to use mouse buttons as inputs, but not the mouse position, as that’s an analog input and not a button.

You can check out the FAQ on our past two button jam for some more details, and also games for inspiration including Vimlark’s winning game.

Hope that helps, and good luck on the jam!

Using LMB to just click stuff on screen would kind of ruin the challenge. You can make a game with just LMB button like that, but it's unfair, because objects on screen can count as buttons in that sense.

Actually, would making a game with 2 UI buttons fit the challenge? And you don't have any other buttons, just clicking those is it.

Yes, two UI buttons would be valid.
