Restart sketch
Jan 20th, 2010, 2:02pm  
Hi everyone,

I've wondered if it's possible to really restart a sketch with a command, but not just calling up setup() .

Please tell me if you know of any, thanks Cheesy

You can just write your sketch in such a way that it can be reset. That is, have setup() call a function that resets all the data in your sketch back to it's original values. Here's a quick example:

Quote:
int rect_x, rect_y;

void reset_sketch(){
  rect_x = 10;
  rect_y = 10;
  background(0);
}

void setup(){
  size(200,200);
  reset_sketch(); 
}

void draw(){
  stroke(255);
  line(mouseX, mouseY, pmouseX, pmouseY);
  noStroke();
  fill(0,200,100);
  rect(rect_x, rect_y, 10, 10);
  fill(0,0,0,5);
  rect(0,0,width,height);
}

void mouseClicked(){
  rect_x = mouseX-5;
  rect_y = mouseY-5;
}

void keyReleased(){
 if( key == ' ' ){
  reset_sketch();
 } 
}

Thanks for your answer, but it won't help me as I don't just wanna reset my variables.

Maybe I should have written what I wanna do. I'm using SpringGUI and it has a bug which causes that once you use a function of SpringGUI keyPressed is not recognized anymore, so what I wanted is to restart the programm, so that it is like I've never used a function of SpringGUI.
Maybe you understand what my problem is.

Maybe it can't be fixed though

That sounds like a pretty fundamental bug.  I'd be tempted to look for an alternative to SpringGUI; not least given the 'please read this first' warning on the developer's site...

Yes, I love the idea of SpringGUI as it is (was?) the only GUI for Processing allowing a simple paste in a text field...
But it have been removed from the lists of libraries for Processing because it was no longer (fully) compatible with 1.0 and up.

Interfascia seems to be a good alternative, i'll take a look at it, thank you
