[SDL] Mouse Buttons

[Kevin Meinert]

the way I understand it, is that you need to check for MOUSEBUTTONUP.

PRESSED and RELEASED are simply the _current_state of the mouse, not the 
event's state.

i.e. if you press down up before the event system can process.  you get 
two events.  both events are going to list the event state -AND- the 
current state.

you want to check the event state probably, which is what you have for 
down, plus another case for MOUSEBUTTONUP  (see the docs.)


note, the docs aren't too clear on this, so I'm just guessing based on 
what I've gotton to work, and by reasoning why there would be a second 
state (the PRESSED or RELEASED one) in the event structure.

basically you can ignore pressed/released unless you need the absolute 
current state - but then you'll miss events.
