How to define this array?

Mitch_

Hi all,

Im once again stuck with my code, if i may ask your help one more time with the following it would be lovely.

I have three rectangles in a for loop, there is a price under one of the rectangles assigned randomly. If a user clicks on a rectangle the program will remove one rectangle that does not have a price underneath it. After that the user can select one of the two remaining rectangles again, regardless if the user has selected a winning rectangle or not the program has to remove all the rectangles after the second click. If the price is under the selected rectangle the user will get a point, if not nothing will happen.

I think i have to make an array like this:

Right now i calculate on which rectangle the user has clicked with: println(floor (mouseX/(width/rectangles)));

Im getting more confused by the minute on how i should calculate and write program as described above. Any help will be appreciated.

it depends on your skill level

int rectangles = 3; 

boolean visible1=true; 
boolean visible2=true; 
boolean visible3=true;

boolean hasPrice1=false; 
boolean hasPrice2=true; 
boolean hasPrice3=false;




void setup() {
  size(1222, 222 );
}

void draw() {
  //println(floor (mouseX/(width/rectangles)));
}

void mousePressed() {

  // 

  int num = floor (mouseX/(width/rectangles)); 

  if (num==0)
  {
    println("ONE");
  } 
  // ---
  else if (num==1)
  {
    println("Two");
  }
  // ---
  else if (num==2)
  {
    println("Three");
  }
}

Alternatives

in theory / later you could:

of course you could use parallel arrays visible and hasPrice instead

or a class RectangleWithPrice and an array of that

What you need to do

What you need to do to move on with my code above:

Now, when rect 1 is clicked, in mousePressed() you

• check hasPrice1 and

• set visible1 to false.

In draw display only those rects where

if(visible1)
      displayRectangle1(); 

or so

int rectangles = 3; 

boolean[] visible  = new boolean[rectangles]; 
boolean[] hasPrice = new boolean[rectangles];

void setup() {
  // 
  size(1222, 222 );
  // ---------
  // init
  for (int i=0; i<rectangles; i++) {
    visible[i]=true;
  }
  for (int i=0; i<rectangles; i++) { 
    hasPrice[i]=false;
  }
  // --------
  // put one price in 
  int randomValue=int(random(rectangles));
  hasPrice[randomValue]=true;
  // --------
  for (int i=0; i<rectangles; i++) { 
    print(hasPrice[i], " ");
  }
  // --------
  println("");
  background(111);
}//func

I will give it a shot, thanks for your clear answer :)
