Sorry for what must be a stupid question … I'm a novice, started coding just a few days ago. I'm working on a utility to burn subtitles from an .srt file into a quicktime movie – and so far, it's been going better and faster than I would have expected: timing is translated correctly, it triggers the correct changes to the two string variables needed etc. – However, when it comes to displaying the stuff on screen, nothing happanes. Actually, no visual elements I've made within draw() appear on screen, whereas those called up in setup() do appear – and draw() seems to be able to do pretty much anything else, even read the lines out loud on mac. Just not display anything.
I've tried turning instances of background(0) on and off, and moved the elements to be displayed, the two text strings or anything else, outside any ifs and fors within draw() – and nothing happens.
Somethinc escapes me completely, I've been stuck for hours, baffled – help would sure be appreciated.
There's a lot of superfluous println() stuff in the code, helping me keep track.
