what I must put ?
the entire code ?

[Yoriz]

Show the minimal amount of code required to show the problem you require help with.
For instance how do you represent a list of x and y coordinates, how is the x and y of the mouse represented.
What is a xbomb in relation to the above and what does 30px represent.

If your problem is "nearest" match to a list of numbers,
you can easily write a small example program to demonstrate the problem .
While doing that, you may find that the python module "bisect"
comes very close to what you want, if I understand your question correctly.
