Lots of games involve tapping tiny objects on screen. But phones are small, fingers are fat, and people's patience is limited. So many games are *more fun* if they're *kind* to the player. If they hastily tapped in the general vicinity, but missed by a pixel? Give them a break and pretend they hit perfectly!

So many games involve tapping very small objects on the screen. But phones are small, fingers are big, and people's patience is limited. So many games are *so much **fun*** if they're *kind* to the player. If they hastily tapped in the general vicinity, but missed by a pixel? Give them a break and pretend they hit perfectly!

          Here's my favorite way to turn that kindness into script:

          [[/uploads/pick_closest.png]]

          First, the three tappable Wood blocks add themselves to a list `$Bs`. (Short for BlockS!) Then the [[Touch Sensor]] feeds into [[Line vs Plane]] to compute the world coordinate the player tapped. The [[Loop]] then checks the distance to *all* blocks, and keeps track of the *best* pick. Finally, do whatever you wanted to do with the tapped object, e.g. [[Set Position]] moves it to the tap position.

          First, the three tappable wood blocks add themselves to a list named `$Bs`. (Short for BlockS.) Then our [[Touch Sensor]] feeds into [[Line vs Plane]] to compute the world coordinate the player tapped. Our [[loop]] then checks the distance between our finger and the position of *all* blocks in the list, and keeps track of the *best* pick. Finally, do whatever you want with the tapped object, e.g. [[Set Position]] moves it to the tap position.

          In this example `Best` is initialized to `3`, so even if the tap misses by a large margin, it'll still count as a hit! And if multiple objects are within that distance, it'll still pick the *best* hit.
