Web instantiate object at touch

Question

I am trying to instantiate particles by touching the screen. I am trying to adapt the code below but no success. Can anyone point me in the right direction? What else do I need?
function mousePressed() {
boxes[boxes.length] = new Box(mouseX, mouseY, 25, 25);
}

Answer 1

Mirielle [INACTIVE] I got it! I am so happy, please, find attached the code. I was missing the right event listener and a loop to read in particles on touch.

as you may see, you were acknowledged because I got a lot from your newton conservation of moment code (funny you ansewered my question, you were already credited in the code I posted early on today, movers02). now I can thank you directly!

Answer 2

Mirielle [INACTIVE] Thank you! I have done that but still nothing happens. I must be missing something listening to the event? I am reading a long article on touch events but if you have a code where this works, I would be grateful to see an example.
