restart/reset sketch
Dec 3rd, 2007, 7:13pm  
hi all!

what possibilities exists to restart or reset a sketch to its initial status (nothing drawn)? do i need to reset all variables and arrays "manually"?
i would like to run my animation in an endless loop, but restarting after a defined amount of time.

btw. is there a way to make a clock running backwards as visual timer on the screen (like -2:36)?

thanks a lot!

regards,
daniel

hi,
just call the setup() method! if you do initialize your variables and arrays in setup() - it's here for that - then it will reset your app.

How do you 'call' a function? - I'm looking to do the same as above. Cheers! L.

just a stupid example...

declare your variables outside setup. set them in setup... draw whatever you want. and on mouseclick, i call setup again and reset the variables/sketch



float x;
float y;
float r;

void setup(){
size(400,400);
x=1;
y=1;
r=1;  
}

void draw(){
background(0);
x+=0.8;
y+=0.8;
r+=0.1;
if(x>width){
 x=0;
 y=0;
}

fill(255,0,0);
ellipse(x,y,r,r);
}

void mouseClicked(){
setup();
}
