Interface possibilities using processing
Mar 3rd, 2009, 3:07pm  
Hi. I am new to processing and am unsure of its possibilities. I want to use it for developing a project but I don't know if it will fulfill all my interface needs. Basically I want my interface to have a 3 different stages..stage one is just a welcome window that can feed in xml information.. when a button for example is clicked it will move onto stage 2. Stage 2 I want it to be able to record the interactions(the interactive visuals that the user is creating). I want the user to finish stage 2, save the video and move onto stage 3 which is really just for information(where the video will be uploaded to for example). I then want the interface to return to stage one so the process can begin again. Is this possible using Processing? Any help or information on this would be greatly appreciated.

John.

Why not keep it simple and do something like:

Code:

int stage;

void setup(){
  stage = 1;
}

void draw(){
  switch(stage){
  
  case 1:
    /* Welcome screen */

    /* read in xml */

    if (xmlLoaded == true) stage = 2;
   
    break;

  case 2:
    /* record interaction */
    if (userInteractionEnded == true) stage = 3;
    
    break;

  case 3:
    /* upload video */
    // do some threaded uploading.
    if (uploadCompleted == true) stage = 1;

    break;
  }
}
