readln? simple keyboard IO
Dec 5th, 2007, 3:00pm  
Hi

I'm wanting to use Processing with some novice programmers. Printing text to the console is easy enough with println, but I can't find a read/readln equivalent. Am I missing something obvious? I just want to do the kinds of things you'd do with C's scanf or Pascal's Read/Readln.

Cheers

Paul

Hi,

Since Processing's purpose is to have fun with images, animations and interactions, you won't find such built-in methods.

Anyway, you can have a look at these messages :

You will also find useful GUI text controls on the Library page :
