Replace Typo with Symbols

Programming Questions

Hi All.

I have generated an alphabet of characters consisting of rectangular 51x51px png-images.
What i want to do now is to load some text into processing (not necessarely via an input field) and display the text using my symbols instead of usual characters.
The next step would include a button to switch on/off the line spacing and the character(symbol) spacing.
After a line of 20 symbols max. a break must follow.

My programming skills aren't very advanced so i hope for some hints to put existing code together.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance!

Sounds familiar... Mmmm... Yes, I did something similar for somebody, quite some time ago. Maybe it can inspire you for your variant.

//String lines[] = loadStrings("text3.txt");
// Too lazy to create the file...
String lines[] =
{
"A", "S", "C", "T", "B", "S", "H", "B", "C", "H",
"H", "T", "B", "A", "H", "C", "S", "T", "S", "T",
"T", "B", "A"
};
void setup()
{
size(400, 400);
smooth();
noLoop();
ellipseMode(CORNER);
rectMode(CORNER);
int posX = 0, posY = 0;
int shapeSize = 40;
for (int i = 0; i < lines.length; i++)
{
// println(lines[i]);
if (lines[i].equals("A"))
{
fill(#000080);
triangle(posX, posY + shapeSize,
posX + shapeSize, posY + shapeSize,
posX + shapeSize/2, posY);
}
else if (lines[i].equals("B"))
{
fill(#880000);
ellipse(posX, posY, shapeSize, shapeSize);
}
else if (lines[i].equals("C"))
{
fill(#FF0000);
arc(posX, posY, 2*shapeSize, shapeSize, PI - PI/3, PI + PI/3);
}
else if (lines[i].equals("H"))
{
fill(#008000);
rect(posX, posY, shapeSize, shapeSize);
}
else if (lines[i].equals("S"))
{
fill(#0000FF);
ellipse(posX, posY, shapeSize, shapeSize);
}
else if (lines[i].equals("T"))
{
fill(#00FF00);
rect(posX, posY, shapeSize, shapeSize);
}
posX += shapeSize;
if ((i + 1) % 10 == 0)
{
posX = 0; posY += shapeSize;
}
}
}
