Like, for direction- mouse's direction and for distance- mouse left button to control the distance meter.
Now if v place our mouse on the actor and do the mentioned moves, he must be able to draw a line!!
I wonder weder v can do dat wid canvas???

The only way to draw lines like that is to use a canvas. The only problem is, I tried doing the same exact thing you're trying to do but badly failed. If you sent me your GED (through a PM) I could edit it for you and try to make it do what you want. I can't promise that I can get it to work though

something like this? (didn't use canvas because i thought maybe you'd want to do something with the line?).
like maybe spread the pixels (randomly, use rightmousebutton).

Thnx Tintran. But its not wat i am looking for. let me explain u. I need an actor who draws lines by controlling the direction(following mouse direction) and da distance it travels( using power meter). and also every time a new line must start from da ending point of da previous line! I think u got it..

what do you mean by controlling the direction?
give us an image demonstrating what you mean, make it in paint or something... sure we can help when we fully understand what you want.

intersting concept there... so, how would player 1/2 be controlled with only 1 mouse?
(just asking questions as to me it seems impossible unless P2 is an AI)
