input mouse/key - control 2 sketches
Nov 3rd, 2008, 9:49am  
Hallo everybody!

I am almost new to processing and not able to solve my problem. I want to run 2 processing sketches at the same time and give them at the same time an input with a mouseclick or by pressing a key. I just learned by reading the message board that normaly the sketch window has to be activate! Isn t there any simple solution to run 2 sketches, one in front and the other in the back und control them at the same time! Thanks for your answers

David

Obviously, you can't share a mouse click or a keystroke among two distinct windows...
If you need to share events, the window receiving them must send them to the other window, perhaps using some network protocol.

You might want to use Network library, or perhaps oscP5 (I haven't used it yet).

[EDIT] Actually, there is already two sketches in the examples, doing precisely that: SharedCanvasServer and SharedCanvasClient.
