Restart whole application ?
Aug 26th, 2006, 7:55pm  

Hi Casey and everybody,

could anyone tell me please how I can restart my whole application in an elegant way
(the app-window with background should stay as it is).

I'm building an exhibiton setup and visitors should be able to restart the application just with one mouseclick (I'll fix the mouse on the wall that it only works as a button....

thanks in advance,
Susanne

you can try this:

void mousePressed(){
 setup();
}

don't call setup() (or draw() for that matter) yourself, that's more than likely to cause trouble, even if it appears to be ok.

you'd be better off splitting setup() between things that only need to happen once (which should remain in setup) and things that should happen when you want to restart. put the latter stuff in a function called restart(), and call it at the end of setup().
