Circle expanding and stopping with mouse clicks??

in General Discussion • Other • 1 year ago

Hello,

I am a total beginner at processing and have an assignment to create a simple game for a college multimedia course.

My idea for the game is to create levels where the objective is to expand a small circle so that it matches up with the larger circle that it is placed in the middle of. I am unsure as how to go about making a circle expand and how to incorporate mouse clicks to stop and start the expanding?

Any help would greatly be appreciated,

Thanks

For mouse input, see mousePressed() (there are also several more links at the bottom of that page).

Maybe have the circle expand if a boolean is true. For example (in a draw loop):

if (circleIsExpanding) {
// make circle bigger
}

Then in mousePressed() flip the boolean:

void mousePressed() {
circleIsExpanding = !circleIsExpanding;
}

A circle expands if you draw it in draw() with a radius depending on a variable whose value augments on each draw() call.
