Is there any way for me to use the fantomEngine in Monkey to create a hyperlink? For example, create a font object of the word Google, when clicked it uses default browser to take the user to https://www.google.com

Hi, yes you can really create a hyperlink or something like this.

Just below is a small example I hope it will be useful to you

Import fantomEngine

Global g:game

Class game Extends App
	Field eng:engine
	Method OnCreate:Int()
		SetUpdateRate(60)
		eng = New engine

		Local cw:Int = 640
		Local ch:Int = 480

		eng.SetCanvasSize(cw, ch)

		' Load a bitmap font link ( set Tag and touch mode ) 
		Local font:ftFont = eng.LoadFont("font.txt")
        Local google_link:ftObject = eng.CreateText(font, "google" ,cw/2,ch/2, eng.taCenterCenter)
			google_link.SetTag(10)
			google_link.SetTouchMode(3)
		' --------------------------------------------------			
		Return 0
	End
	'------------------------------------------
	Method OnUpdate:Int()
		Local d:Float = Float(eng.CalcDeltaTime())/60.0	
		'--------------------------------------------			
		eng.TouchCheck()
		'--------------------------------------------			
		eng.Update(d)
		Return 0
	End
	'------------------------------------------
	Method OnRender:Int()
		' Clear the screen 
		Cls 0,0,0
		
		' Render all visible objects of the engine
		eng.Render()
		Return 0
	End
	'------------------------------------------
	Method OnSuspend:Int()
		' Clear the screen 
		'Error("xxx")
		Return 0
	End
End	

'***************************************
Class engine Extends ftEngine

		
		Method OnObjectTouch:Int(obj:ftObject, touchId:Int)
		Select obj.GetTag()
			Case 10
				OpenUrl "https://www.google.com"		
		End
		Return 0
	    End
	
End


'***************************************
Function Main:Int()
	g = New game
	Return 0
End
