Hi , i the following code i have an array and then i translate or move all the content of the array  to the left then i put a new random number at the end of the array, for example if i have my array in this way:
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]   next state is gonna be [1, 1, 1, 1, 4] and next state is gonna be [1, 1, 1, 4, 8] and next state is gonna be [1, 1, 4, 8, 2]  and so on. Im using this techniq to control an animation, so my question is how can i control the speed of this translation?

I found one way but it gives me a new problem, in this line:
nuevo_corre[i ] = corre[i + 1 ];  instead of adding to 1 i can change  to 2 or more numbers to have more speed  and in this way i can control the speed, but then i have the problem that it fill my array each 2 numbers so i end having something like this: [1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 8]   , so the result is not very good

Any idea of how can i control the speed in a sucessfull way?

here is the code

Code:

float[] corre = new float[100];

float[] nuevo_corre = new float[100];


void setup(){
  size(1200, 1200);
  for(int i=0 ; i<100 ; i++){
    corre[i]= 1; // first i fill my array with 1
    nuevo_corre[i] = corre[i];   

  }
}


void draw(){
  background(250, 250, 0);
  if(keyPressed) {
    for(int i=0 ; i<100  ; i++){
	if(i < 56) {
	  nuevo_corre[i ] = corre[i + 1];  // please change the numerber 1  with 2 or 3

	  print(" " + nuevo_corre[i]    );
  
}
	else if (i ==56 ){
	  nuevo_corre[i] = random(121 ); 
	}
  
    }
    
    for(int i=0 ; i<100  ; i++){
	corre[i ] = nuevo_corre[i ]; 
	ellipse( i * 5 , 20 , corre[i]/8 , corre[i]/8);
    }
  }
}



 

hi philLo i thought in what you say, but that problem with that idea i just can make the translation of the array slower but not faster, and i need to make it faster. Any idea?

hi i cant increase the framerate because i need to use my array to scale animated array and making bigger moves was the first thing ive tried but i get holes in my array , if i make nuevo_corre[i ] = corre[i + 4 ]; instead of nuevo_corre[i ] = corre[i + 1 ];  i get  [1 , 0, 0, 0, 2 , 0, 0 , 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 4...and so on, and i need [1, 2, 3, 4 ...
