Hello I would like to do an automaitc program wich write no sense text with all the characters of the
ASCII keyboard that i'm using, i've started, and i have a manual program wich is:

char letter;
String words = "Begin...";

void setup() {
size(640, 360);
// Create the font
textFont(createFont("Georgia", 36));
}

void draw() {
background(0); // Set background to black

// Draw the letter to the center of the screen
textSize(14);
text("Click on the program, then type to add to the String", 50, 50);
text("Current key: " + letter, 50, 70);
text("The String is " + words.length() + " characters long", 50, 90);

textSize(36);
text(words, 50, 120, 540, 300);
}

void keyPressed() {
// The variable "key" always contains the value
// of the most recent key pressed.
if ((key >= 'A' && key <= 'z') || key == ' ') {
    letter = key;
    words = words + key;
    // Write the letter to the console
    print(key);
}
}

I can't write numbers and the rest of symbols.

Do you have any idea to continue with my proyect? I would like also to make it automatic,
i don't need it in the screen i just need some text with no sense made by a program, I thought having
all this text in the print part of processing!

THANK YOU!

Try out this condition expression to include both letters & numbers & space:

  if (key >= 'A' & key <= 'Z' | key >= 'a' & key <= 'z' | 
    key >= '0' & key <= '9' | key == ' ') {

And a crazy online example:

What about a random char function?

Copy code

// http://forum.processing.org/topic/text-random-program

void setup() {
  frameRate(1);
  textSize(0100);
  textAlign(CENTER, CENTER);
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  text(randomCharacter(), width>>1, height>>1);
}

char randomCharacter() {
  char c;

  do c = (char) random(' ', 'z'+1);
  while (c<'A'|c>'Z' && c<'a'|c>'z' && c<'0'|c>'9' && c!=' ');

  return c;
}

And this 1 keeps adding char by char to a String:

Copy code

// http://forum.processing.org/topic/text-random-program

String gibberish = "";

void setup() {
  frameRate(1);
}

void draw() {
  println(gibberish += randomCharacter());
}

char randomCharacter() {
  char c;

  do c = (char) random(' ', 'z'+1);
  while (c<'A'|c>'Z' && c<'a'|c>'z' && c<'0'|c>'9' && c!=' ');

  return c;
}
