However, my game seems to be crashing whenever I try to play the video. I've upgraded my memory on the preferences tab, however it does not really work when I upgrade it to 4GB(i'm using a system with 4gb of ram). So i updated its max memory to 1gb.
Any ideas why the game is crashing? Is there a particular file type or size I should be sticking to?
Im trying to create a program using processing and reactivision and i was wondering if anyone could help.
Basically the first step of the program is to display an image, (which i know how to do) and then i would like to play a sound when i show a fiducial symbol to the web camera (and i have code to that program too.)
What i don't know how to do is to make the pc only display the image until the user presses enter and then go to the program which recognises fiducial symbols and play a sound.
The Code i have is the following :
//This is the code which displays the image :
size(600,600);
PImage b;
b = loadImage("question1.jpg");
image(b, 0, 0);
//This is the code which recognises fiducial symbols and play a sound :
/**
* Sound1.pde
Shows how we can play sounds from within a processing sketch. Some AudioSamples are played using the trigger method.
Whether or not a soundplays is governed by the presence of a corresponding reactivision symbol.
The the frequency with which the sample repears is determined by the angle of the symbol.
Possible extensions:
Use the position of the reactivision symbol to control the volume of the corresponding sound.

I'm completely new to processing and I've got a project due in 5 weeks time so, i'm kinda panicking.
I grasped a few basic concepts of processing and have some access to some source code. But at the moment I'm stuck with trying to make a gui. My problem at the moment is that I don't know how to create buttons and link them to a particular page (i'm creating a basic game for 3 - 5 year olds - nothing complicated).
If anyone could kindly shed some light i'd be most appreciative!!
