using delay()
Apr 15th, 2009, 6:11am  
I know I'm being very silly, but I just can't get the delay() to work how I want it to.

Im using the fade hack in my sketch,
processing.org/hacks/doku.php?id=hacks:fading
and delaying it using delay(30); to give it a really nice slow fade. However, this is now making my entire programme run with a 30ms delay. Is there any way to JUST have the fade on delay, and everything else running normal speed?

In general, you don't use delay(), except in noDraw() mode (and perhaps threading, ...).
To slow down the effect, you can just count the frames (using frameCount of course) and draw the translucent rectangle every n frames (using % (modulo)).

Mary, take a look at my example on this thread.

Once your fade scene is complete, you want to turn off the delay.
