counting down from 2 minutes
Mar 9th, 2009, 7:53pm  
I know this should probably be really easy, but can't seem to figure it out. I would like to display a timer or a stop watch type display and show it counting down from the 2 minute mark. showing minutes/seconds/milliseconds.  Any help is appreciated.

int target = 2000;
void draw()
{
 int time = millis();
 int m = target-time;
 println("millis:"+m);
 println("hundreds:"+m/10f);
 println("tens:"+m/100f);
 println("seconds:"+m/1000f);
 println(m);
 if(m <= 0){
   println("done");
   exit();
 }
}

Why doesn't this work?

Why doesn't this work?

PFont font;
void setup(){
 size(500,500);
 smooth();
font = loadFont("serif.vlw");  
}

void draw(){
 background(255);
 
 int sec = second();
 int minutes = minute();
 int hours = hour();
 //println (hours + ":" + minutes + ":"+sec);

text(sec,250,250);
text(minutes,250,250);
text(hours,250,250);
}

It looks like you forgot to call textFont(font);
