Hello All!

I'm reasonably new to processing, haven’t picked it up in a while and really wanted to finish something i was tinkering with a few months ago!

I'm wondering if someone can show me how to create a timed restart of a sketch, (example; after 20 minutes the programs restarts from the first pixel in the sequence).

Using my webcam seems to be a major issue, as it stops working with any attempt I’ve made to restart it

here's the code



import processing.video.*;

Capture loo;

int cellsize = 10;
int cols, rows;

ArrayList<PVector> points = new ArrayList<PVector>();
 
void setup() {
  size(1920, 1200, P2D);
  frameRate(500);
 
    println("processing.video ");
  loo = new Capture(this, width, height, 24);
   
 
  cols = width/cellsize;
  rows = height/cellsize;
  rectMode(CENTER);
  noStroke();
  background(0);
 
  // Create an array list with the positions where we want the rects
  for (int i = 0; i < cols;i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < rows;j++) {
      int x = i*cellsize + cellsize/2; // x position
      int y = j*cellsize + cellsize/2; // y position
      int loc = x + y*width;           // Pixel array location
      PVector p = new PVector(x, y, loc);
      points.add(p);
    }
  }
  // And now randomize the array!
  //Collections.shuffle(points);
}
 
int idx;
 
void draw() {
 

 
   if (loo.available()) {
    // When using video to manipulate the screen, use video.available() and
    // video.read() inside the draw() method so that it's safe to draw to the screen
   loo.read();
 
  PVector p = points.get(idx++);
  color c = loo.pixels[int(p.z)];       // Grab the color
 
  fill(c);
  ellipse(p.x, p.y, cellsize, cellsize);
 
  if (idx >= points.size()) {
    noLoop();
    println("Done");
  }
}
}


any help would be wonderful!

Thanks
