exporting as application issues

in Integration and Hardware • 3 months ago

I have just finished (kind of) my first Processing sketch thanks to the help from many people on this forum but now I want to export it and share it with the world it fails. The problem lies when moving between the welcome and game screen it freezes. I understand it is difficult without the sound files and images, would it be better if I uploaded the whole folder? Here is the code anyway.

Hey edfishmus..

You want to export it as what?
Applet, projector, JS app?

Running this in a browser probably won't work (Java doesn't do cross domain stuff because of security)

@cageehv: Per the subject line: as application (but for what system?).

@edfishmusic: you should not expose private API keys to the public like that...

I see you use unspecified contributed libraries (SMS?), you should indicate them more explicitly.
I see a comment mentioning it is Mac only. I suppose it won't work on other computers, but I suppose you test it on the original computer? Anyway, "share it with the world" will fail in lot of computers anyway.

Suggestion: try at least to remove this library, it might the source of failure. You can also try and remove progressively other library usages, to isolate the culprit. Another trick is to log information, it might allow you to pinpoint where is the failure point.

Yes an application for Mac OSX.

Thanks for the suggestion you were right, removing SMS has worked, I have changed the reload to ENTER || RETURN.

However when it starts as an application it creates a new text file (tweets.txt) outside of the data file, thus making the tweets unreachable to the application. Is there a solution to this?

Yes, Processing loads data from the... data folder, but by default saves to the sketch folder.
Try saving to dataPath("fileName") like: saveStrings(dataPath("tweets.txt"));

That's done the trick. Thank you again!
