count mousePressed
May 22^nd, 2007, 2:11pm

hi,

I'm fairly new to processing and want the program im writing to play a different set of images each time the mouse is pressed. I'm told that I need to include a counter but so far I havent come across anything that has worked. If anyone can offer any advice that would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

heres my code

Balloons series1, series2;
float xpos, ypos;

void setup()
{

size(450, 450);

series1 = new Balloons("balloon", 5);
series2 = new Balloons("ball", 5);

}

void draw()
{
//int count = 0;
if(mousePressed)
{
frameRate(7);
series1.display(xpos-series1.getWidth()/2, ypos);
//noLoop();
}

//else if (mousePressed)
//{
//counter = 2;
//frameRate(3);
//series2.display(xpos-series1.getWidth()/2, ypos);
//}

else
{
//frameRate(1);
background(0); //having the value as 500 will make it pause
}
//println(reading);

}

class Balloons
{
PImage[]bal;
int frame;
int numFrames;

Balloons(String imageName, int frameCount){
numFrames = frameCount;
bal = new PImage[numFrames];
loadImages(imageName);
}

void loadImages(String name) {
for(int i=0; i<numFrames; i++) {
String imageName = name + ((i < 4) ? "" : "") + i + ".jpg";
bal[i] = loadImage(imageName);
}
}
void display(float xpos, float ypos)
{
frame = (frame+1)%numFrames;
image(bal[frame], 1, 1);
}

int getWidth() {
return bal[0].width;
}

}

Hi! The only thing i am sure about is your counter thing. Basically what you want is to count how many times your mouse has been pressed.

Here's how you do that...

Code:


//SET AN INT VARIABLE
int counter;

//VOID SETUP
void setup()
{
size(200, 200);
}

//VOID MOUSERELEASED
void mouseReleased()
{
counter = counter + 1;
}

Thats basically how you would do the counting part, if you were to view the counter, you would type...

Code:


//SET AN INT VARIABLE
int counter;

//VOID SETUP
void setup()
{
size(200, 200);
}

//VOID DRAW
void draw()
{
text(counter, 10, 10);
}

//VOID MOUSERELEASED
void mouseReleased()
{
counter = counter + 1;
}

Obviously, you would add the text configurations before everything within the code.

Unfortunately, i'm unsure about the displaying of different images, but i'm sure someone else will help you.

Thanks,
Steve.

hey,

thanks for the quick reply. i've included the code you
put up,and it works, it knows its counting, but it doesnt
do anything with it... i need it to recognise it and then
change the output.

heres what i've got so far, but it continues to play the
same images. i assume i need to put 'counter' in draw with
the if / else statements, however i'm not quite sure what
to do with them after that...

thanks!

}
