Hey my friends (translate)

AriElle

I have the following question ! I want to make a figure out of cubes . My problem is if I use this code I just get one box. The other box is missing. What is wrong with

koogs

translate() is cumulative. your second box is at 30+45, 90+75, 0 which is out of the screen.

size(200, 200, P3D);

and you'll see it.

to stop this, use pushMatrix(), popMatrix()

void setup() {
  size(100, 100, P3D);
  frameRate(20);
}

void draw() {
  background(200);

  fill(255, 0, 0);
  pushMatrix();
  translate(30, 90, 0);
  box(20);
  popMatrix();

  fill(0, 0, 255); // not 300, range is 0-255
  pushMatrix();
  translate(45, 75, 0);
  box(20);
  popMatrix();
}

ALSO please don't post screenshots of code, paste it as text.

Make size bigger

size(900, 800);

Ahh thanks a million..oke i am new here and will Do so !! :)

koogs

fill(255, 0, 0);
pushMatrix();
translate(30, 90, 0);
box(20);
popMatrix();
...

and whilst copy and pasting this is ok for 2 or 3 blocks, it'll get cumbersome really quickly. so make a function that takes colour and position (possibly size) and that instead.
