parent properties overridden Aug 14th, 2006, 12:42pm   Hi, i'm new to Processing, i've started coding it with a simple test and now i've a question: this is the code: Code: Paddle paddle; void setup() { size(200, 200); paddle = new Paddle(); } void draw() { background(51); // clear screen paddle.update(); } class Paddle { int width; Paddle() { this.width = 50; } void update() { println("paddle width: " + this.width + " stage width: " + width); } } how can i get the "stage width" if my object override the width properties ? there's a solution other then avoid to use properties names in the object already bound by the PApplet ?

Re: parent properties overridden Reply #1 - Aug 14th, 2006, 2:43pm   You could add a reference to your PApplet instance: Quote: Paddle paddle; void setup(){  size(200, 200);  paddle = new Paddle(this); }   void draw(){  background(51); // clear screen  paddle.update(); }   class Paddle {    int width;  PApplet p;    Paddle(PApplet p) {    this.width = 50;    this.p=p;  }    void update() {    println("paddle width: " + this.width + " stage width: " + p.width);  } }
