I'm retreiving tweets from Twitter which I then break up into single words and arrange as an array of strings. I've this loop within the draw loop so that i can see each word drawn on screen individually. YET, when i run the loop, only the final word of the tweet will be drawn...everything else in this loop below works as it should. the text shows up in the print box, but only the final word gets drawn in the display window. anyone seeing what i'm missing?


 for(int i=0; i<((singleWords.length)-1); i++){    
   background(0);
   delay(500);
   text(singleWords[i], 75,75);
   delay(500);
   println(i + ": " + singleWords[i]);
 }

Don't use delay(). I sincerely think this should be removed from the API, or the reference page should insist even more on the culprits of this function (should be used only with noLoop(), I think).

Solution: use draw() as your loop, maintain a counter incremented on each draw() call, and a time counter (based on millis()) to manage the rate of display.
This isn't very intuitive, but there are lot of examples of such design on the forum.
Or just ask here if you are stuck.
