popup box from sketch?
Nov 11th, 2006, 9:24pm  
I'd like to have my game poll a website to check for a new version the same way that Processing checks for new versions of the PDE. The polling a website thing I'm pretty sure I know how to do, but it's not clear how or even if it is possible to create a popup box to alert the user that there is a new version of the game and a yes and no button, like what the PDE pops up.

use the javascript library

and use a confirm() function to get a yes/no box

Ah, should have mentioned this is for an application, not an applet.

Does it really need to be a popup, or could you just write the message to the sketch and require the user to click past it?

That's what I wound up doing, actually. Though it would still be good to know an easy way to make a popup. I did manage to setup a swing popup, but it had the undesirable behaviour of closing the whole app when I closed the swing popup. Probably that's mostly due to me not knowing how to use swing.
