Millis never stops!
Oct 16^th, 2006, 2:53am

I would like to start the "millis()" when I push any key, but the processing begin the "millis()" no matter when I want to start, the "millis()" begin as I push the "play". For example, a processing starts with a text informing something, then asks to push some key to start the processing, but the program is done to start the "millis()" only when I push some key, but it is not happening. The "millis()" always begin when the program begin, no matter of "loop()" or "no Loop()".

So is there anything wrong with "millis()"? Or do I did anything wrong?

Thanks.

Nintendo.

millis is the number of milliseconds since the applet started, so you can't stop it, nor pause it.
but you can make your own variable, where myMillis is your new millisecond counter

Code:


int myMillis = 0;
int myPaused = 0;
int myDiff = 0;
boolean paused = false;

void setup()
{
size(300,300);
}

void draw()
{
if(!paused) updateMillis();
println(myMillis);
}

void updateMillis()
{
myMillis = millis()-myDiff;
}

void keyPressed()
{
if(!paused) myPaused = millis();
paused = true;
}

void keyReleased()
{
paused = false;
myDiff += millis()-myPaused;
}

I'm bored, therefore I program
