Hello. I am new to programming in processing. I recently made a small game, but I cannot make the score display using the text() command. In the game, the user controls a small ellipse with the arrow keys and tries to catch and evading box.
Here is the code:
//created by indianyar
PFont font;
int Time=(minute()*60+second());
int Boxes=0;
int A=100;
int X=100;
int R = int(random(1,199));
int S = int(random(1,199));
int Present=0;
void setup()
{
 size(200, 200, P2D);
 background(0,100,170);
 rect(R,S,10,10);
 font = loadFont("TimesNewRomanPSMT-16.vlw");
 textFont(font);
 fill(240);
}
void draw()
{
background(0,100,170);
Present= minute()*60+second();
if(int(abs(Time-Present))>=60)
{
println("it came here");
delay(250);
println("it came here");
delay(600);
text("You caught this many boxes:", 30, 40);
text(Boxes, 30, 60);
save("evidence.tiff");
println("it came here");
delay(250);
background(0,100,170);
print(Boxes);
exit();
}
keyPressed();
}
void keyPressed()
{
 background(0,100,170);
 rect(R,S,10,10);
 int J = int(random(-10,10));
 int K = int(random(-10,10));
 if((R+J)>=200)
 {
  J=0;
 }
 if((R+J)<=0)
 {
  J=0;
 }
 if((S+K)>=200)
 {
  K=0;
 }
 if((S+K)<=0)
 {
  K=0;
 }

 if (key == CODED) {
   if (keyCode == UP)
   {
     R=R+J;
     S=S+K;
     X=X-1;
     if(X==0)
     {
       X=X+1;
     }
     ellipse(A,X,5,5);
     rect(R,S,10,10);  
   }
   else if (keyCode == DOWN)
   {
     R=R+J;
     S=S+K;
     X=X+1;
     if(X==200)
     {
       X=X-1;
     }
     ellipse(A,X,5,5);
     rect(R,S,10,10);  
   }
   else if (keyCode == LEFT)
   {
     R=R+J;
     S=S+K;
     A=A-1;
     if(A==0)
     {
       A=A+1;
     }
     ellipse(A,X,5,5);
     rect(R,S,10,10);  
   }
   else if (keyCode == RIGHT)
   {
     R=R+J;
     S=S+K;
     if(A==200)
     {
       A=A-1;
     }
     A=A+1;
     ellipse(A,X,5,5);
     rect(R,S,10,10);  
   }
 }
if ((((R+5)>=(A+2.5))&&((R-5)<=(A-2.5))&&((S+5)>=(X+2.5))&&((S-5)<=(X-2.5))) == true)
{
R = int(random(1,199));
S = int(random(1,199));
rect(R,S,10,10);
Boxes=Boxes+1;
}
}
I tested the code by adding print statements, and the program reached all the print statements. I also tested it by using the save function. The saved image shows a screen with the text, but when the user plays the game the user cannot view the score. I am really confused now. I added delay statements, but they did not help.

Also: don't use delay(). And don't call keyPressed, Processing does that automatically.

I added the stroke() command. Even with stroke it does not display.

Thank you PhiLho, you are a very brilliant person. Also, thank you to blindfish. You guys both helped me a lot. I guess I had a conceptual error in the code. Thank you. If you want to see the finished game go to www.indianyar.com
