Looping in draw()
Aug 21st, 2006, 9:14am  
Hi,
I'm new to processing and am having a problem with loops.
I've got two nested for loops which are nested in a while loop in draw(). Within the core of these loops, theres some code which displays some graphics.
The problem is that when I run the program, the graphics are not displayed on the screen, though logically, the program is correct. When run without the while loop, everything works fine.
Please help me with this problem coz I'm not able to get any animation going because of this problem.

S.D

Things are only drawn when draw() finishes.

So if you want things to draw in order, you need to draw things in consecutive runs of draw();

draw() gets run every frame unless you have called noLoop(); when it only gets run once.

Thanks a million John! A little change in the program's logic and everything's working great! Smiley
