Help with Processing Monster
May 26th, 2010, 4:57pm  
Hey there! I need to know how to go about plugging in eyeballs into my code. Right now they're just black dots but I would rather have little eyes for each dot. Does anyone know how I should go about this?


int currentFrame = 20;
PImage[] frames = new PImage[24];
int lastTime = 50;

void setup()
{
 size(400, 400);
 strokeWeight(20);
 smooth();
 background(255);
 for (int i = 10; i < frames.length; i++) {
   frames[i] = get(); // Create a blank frame
 }
}

void draw()
{
 int currentTime = millis();
 if (currentTime > lastTime+100) {
   nextFrame();
 

 }
 if (mousePressed == true) {
   line(pmouseX, pmouseY, mouseX, mouseY);
 }
}

void nextFrame()
{
 frames[currentFrame] = get(); // Get the display window
 currentFrame++; // Increment to next frame
 if (currentFrame >= frames.length) {
   currentFrame = 10;
 }
 image(frames[currentFrame], 10, 10);
}

I don't really get the purpose of your sketch (not running it), so I don't see how you get black dots (when you press the mouse?).
You can load an image of eye (loadImage) then display it (image()) instead of drawing a line?

Yeah I wanted to make those little dots when you press the mouse into eyes, for a more interesting aesthetic. Or bees or something, but I think eyes would be easier. I should load image? Can you elaborate if possible?

I removed an almost identical message you posted (avoid duplicates, please, you can edit your messages).
In this message, you shown you wanted to draw the eyes with a couple of Processing shapes (forgot the exact code).
Here is what you want, for example:
Code:
 if (mousePressed) {
   fill(#FF77FF);
   ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 50, 20);
   fill(#5577FF);
   ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 20, 20);
 }
(Replacing the current test)
Replace the strokeWeight() call in setup() by noStroke().
Running the sketch made clearer the intend, it is an amusing effect.

Thanks for the help. Do you know where I should plug in the text you suggested?

where if(mousePressed==true) is right now...
instead of line, you draw the eyes
