# This program was based on the assignment description provided by Nathaly Verwaal in the fourth assignment

import subprocess

# JT: This program just assumes that the quickdraw.zip file is in the current working directory.
# JT: Also note that how this subprocess (how your Python program communicates with QuickDraw) is created.
# JT: Normally the second argument stdin etc. allows your program to pass information to QuickDraw
# JT: For A4 you need a 3rd argument that allows you read information about mouse events *from* QuickDraw 
quickdraw = subprocess.Popen(['java', '-jar', './quickdraw.zip'], stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

# JT: turns on the ability to 'listen' (receive info about) mouse events
quickdraw.stdin.write('mouseclick True\n')

# JT: mouse events come back in the form of a string, this string is stored in the variable event
event = quickdraw.stdout.readline()

# JT: Display this string to see what information QuickDraw provides about the event and in what
# JT: format it comes.
print event
