Windows, Android, Html5, and flash all can be used in devices with or without mouse. There should be away to detect that. Sure now it is not a big issue now but what happens when Windows tablet start getting popular?

I was working on a game with a world map and Showing TouchX() and TouchY() will be useful unless there is no mouse, then there will be no point of printing it.

  mouseEnabled:Bool
  mouseX:Int
  mouseY:Int
  Method new()
    mouseEnabled=Flase
    mouseX=TouchX()
    mouseY=TouchY()
  End
  Method Update:Void()
    If (mouseX<>TouchX() Or mouseY<>TouchY())And Not TouchDown() Then mouseEnabled=True
  End
  Method Draw:Void()
    If mouseEnabled Then TextDraw(TouchX()+","+TouchY(),0,0)
  End
