falling objects
« on: Nov 1st, 2003, 4:05am »

int xs[100];
int ys[100];
for (int i=0; i<100; i++) {
xs[i] = random(0,200);
ys[i] = random(0,200);
}
 
i am trying to use this part of my code to show the effect of snow falling but it keeps giving syntax errors. is there an easier way in processing to make a falling effect - continually (when it all gets to the bottom it restarts from the top)? thanks

Your problem is that your array declaration syntax is slightly incorrect and random() returns a float value, not an integer.
 
solution:
 
// declaring array syntax
int[] xs = new int[100];  
int[] ys = new int[100];  
for (int i=0; i<100; i++) {  
// random returns float value. You need  
// to convert to int values if you want  
// to store these values in an array of integers.
xs[i] = (int)(random(0,200));  
ys[i] = (int)(random(0,200));  
}
