Programming Questions

I hope someone can help me.

I cannot solve this problem: I have to create a sketch with a button. When I click on the button, I have to put in the window, the time that has elapsed since the sketch started. Every time the button is pressed a new time is posted, but the time doesn’t change until the button is pressed.

This is my code.

Thanks!

int x = 300;

int y = 600;

float timer;

float setupTime;

PFont font;

void setup() {

background(204);

size(600,600);

ellipseMode(RADIUS);

smooth();

font = loadFont ("ArialMT-48.vlw");

textFont (font);

setupTime=millis();

}

void draw() {

background(204);

textSize(16);

fill(255);

ellipse(x, y, 50, 30);

fill(0);

text("COUNT", 275, 595);

fill(0);

println(millis()-setupTime);

timer=(millis()-setupTime);

}

void mouseClicked() {

setupTime=millis();

text(timer, 300, 40);

}

float theTime = -1;
PFont font;
void setup() {
size(600, 600);
ellipseMode(CENTER);
smooth();
font = loadFont ("ArialMT-48.vlw");
textFont (font);
textSize(16);
}
void draw() {
background(204);
fill(dist(mouseX,mouseY,300,600)<50?128:255);
stroke(0);
ellipse(300, 600, 100, 100);
fill(0);
text("COUNT", 275, 595);
if( theTime != -1 ){
text( theTime + " seconds", 200, 40);
}
}
void mouseClicked() {
if( dist(mouseX, mouseY,300,600) < 50){
theTime = millis()/1000.0;
}
}

Sorry if I bother again,

but do you have any idea about hot to reset the button count from zero every time that I click on the button?

I cannot find a solution for this.

Thanks!

I think this is what you were looking for.
It is very difficult to make the button a circle so I made it a rectangle. Hope it's not too inconvenient.
I also didn't add the font. You can if you need to.
If you have any questions I'd be glad to help if I can.

Here is the code.

//used as variable for milliseconds
float setupTime;
//declaring width and height of button
int rectWidth = 320;
int rectHeight = 60;
void setup() {
size(600,600);
//declares where rectangle will be placed in accordance with its x and y pos
rectMode(CENTER);
}
void draw() {
background(0);
setupTime = millis();
//calls the button function
Button();
println(setupTime);
}
void Button() {
strokeWeight(5);
//checks if mouse is placed over the button
//if it is the boarder and fill of the button change
if(mouseX > width/2 - (rectWidth/2) &&
mouseX < width/2 + (rectWidth/2) &&
mouseY < height/2 + (rectHeight*3) &&
mouseY > height/2 + rectHeight*2) {
fill(150);
stroke(255);
} else {
fill(255);
stroke(150);
}
//draws the button
rect(width/2, height/2 + (rectWidth/2), 320, 60);
//draws COUNT on button
fill(0);
textSize(30);
text("COUNT", width/2 - 55, height/2 + 170);
//checks if mouse is placed over the button and if the mouse is pressed
//if both are true it desplays string and then the variable setupTime at given location
if(mousePressed &&
mouseX > width/2 - (rectWidth/2) &&
mouseX < width/2 + (rectWidth/2) &&
mouseY < height/2 + (rectHeight*3) &&
mouseY > height/2 + rectHeight*2) {
fill(255);
textSize(20);
text("Milliseconds Passed From Start : " + setupTime, width - width + (width/5), height/2 - (height/3));
}
}

Too slow!

EDIT: Your response time. As in, you've posted a great solution, but I managed to post mine first.

The program or my response?

EDIT: If he really needs it, a 2-3 hour delay won't stop him from checking back. If he doesn't see it, I had fun writing it and got away from the frustration of my project.

EDIT: How'd u get a round button? I'll have to look into dist() I'm still very new to processing and programming in general.

Thank you so much! Thank you to both of you!

I will play around with the code you sent me and I think I will be able to make mine work...

You've been so nice!

I wish I would not be such a beginner in processing because I would like to be able to help u too!
