Using typed text by user in multiple pages.
Feb 3^rd, 2009, 6:10am

Hi, I am trying to have the typed name show up in the next page but it is not working, I don't know what else to do. I want the name typed to show up in the next page where there is supposed to be a name, right now it is typing then after I press enter the space where there is supposed to be a name is blank, please help resolve, will appreciate greatly.

current code:

int page = 1;
PFont font;
String letters = "";
String answer = "";
String Hi = "Hi";
void setup()
{
size(400,400);
font= loadFont("Hel.vlw");
textFont(font);
textAlign(CENTER);
background(0);

}

void draw(){
//black background
background(0);
if (page==1){
text("What is your name?", 200,100);//question one
text(letters,200,150);
}else if(page == 2){
background(0);
stroke(255);
if(letters.equals(letters))//if answer is yes, then the
{
stroke(255);
text("Hi",150,200);
text(letters, 200,200);//question is
text("you look very pretty today.", 200,225);
}
letters="";
}

}

void keyPressed(){
if((key == ENTER)|| (key == RETURN))
{
page = 2;

}
if((key > 31) && (key !=CODED))
{
letters =letters + key;
}}

Haven't run your sketch, but I see two issues:
if(letters.equals(letters))
is always true. That's OK, but it might not be what you want.

And letters=""; in page 2.
That means that the text will be displayed on the first frame after Enter have been detected, then it will be erased on the next frame by the (double) background call.
Hard for the eye to see the subliminal message! :-P
