Properly close the window using mouse in Ursina

For the past couple of days, I have been playing around in the Ursina Engine in Python, used for creating both 3D and 2D games. But the recurring problem I have been facing with this engine when making 3D games, is that I can't close the window properly. This is happening because mouse is being used inside of the game, to control the player, so if I try to go to the close button, the mouse will always stay in the game. The workaround for this is to move to a different window, position the mouse so it's outside of the window, and then finally hit the close button. But this is a lot of work for the user to do, to simply close the window.

Here is some simple code to demonstrate:

from ursina import *
from ursina.prefabs.first_person_controller import FirstPersonController
import random

game = Ursina()

class Block(Button):
    def __init__(self, position = (0,0,0)):
        super().__init__(parent = scene, position = position, model = 'cube', color = color.white)

for z in range(20):
    for x in range(20):
        block = Block(position = (x, 0, z))

player = FirstPersonController()
game.run()

I believe this import statement is causing this:

from ursina.prefabs.first_person_controller import FirstPersonController

How can I close the window properly in Ursina?

You could try moving the existing Exit button elsewhere, and creating your own custom Exit button, that is located where you want it and allows a clean exit by the player.

from ursina import*

app = Ursina()

# move Exit button off the screen
window.exit_button.x = -10000

# declare a new exit button
exit = Button(
        text = "X",
        scale = 0.05,
        model = "cube",
        color = color.red)
exit.y = 0.45
exit.x = 0.8

def input(key):
    if key == "left mouse down" and mouse.hovered_entity == exit:
        quit()

app.run()

Just disable the FPC (First Person Controller) player.disable()

or just

make the mouse unlocked mouse.locked = False, so it can move

One solution to this problem would be to create a way for you to exit the game by pressing a key.

def input(key):
    if key == 'escape':
        quit()

With this code you can close the game by pressing 'escape'.

Quick solution, Shift+Q (if the exit_button is enabled).

Usually in first person shooters you make a pause menu and put an exit button there. The FirstPersonController hides the mouse cursor and locks the position to the center of the screen. To reverse this, do:

mouse.locked = False
mouse.visible = True

I usually press the "Windows" key. Pressing this button open the windows menu, but it also makes the mouse visible.

Another tip, you can put:

window.exit_button.visible = False

In your code to make it easier to close the window.
