Make bouncy text stop at certain point?

Nugget

Hullo. I am a 8th grader whose doing processing for an assignment. I saw a post by tfguy44 (Animated text) and the script for BouncyText. How do you make it stop at a certain Point? I would like it to stop in the middle of the canvas. Here's the script so far: class bouncyWord { String theWord; float px, py, vx, vy; bouncyWord(String iWord, float ipx) { theWord = iWord; px=ipx; vx=0; py=height/1; vy=random(2, 7); } void setup(){ size(450,450); } void draw() { px+=vx; py+=vy; if (py<0) { py=0; vy=-vy; } if (py>height) { py=height; vy=-vy; } text(theWord, px, py); } }

bouncyWord aa, bb, cc, dd, ee, ff;

void setup() {
  size(220, 220);
  textAlign(CENTER);
  aa = new bouncyWord("nugget", width/4); 
  fill(255);
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  aa.draw();
}

Have a look at the following changes:

class bouncyWord { 
  String theWord; 
  float px, py, vx, vy; 
  boolean bounce;   //  ***  ADDED
  bouncyWord(String iWord, float ipx) { 
    theWord = iWord; 
    px=ipx; 
    vx=0; 
    py=height/1; 
    vy=random(2, 7);
    bounce=true;    //  ***  ADDED
  } 
  void setup() { 
    size(450, 450);
  } 

  void toggle() {     //  ***  ADDED
    bounce=!bounce;  //  ***  ADDED
  }                  //  ***  ADDED

  void draw() { 


    if (bounce==true) {    //  ***  ADDED
      px+=vx; 
      py+=vy; 
      if (py<0) { 
        py=0; 
        vy=-vy;
      } 
      if (py>height) { 
        py=height; 
        vy=-vy;
      }
    }    //  ***  ADDED
    text(theWord, px, py);
  }
}


bouncyWord aa, bb, cc, dd, ee, ff;

void setup() {
  size(220, 220);
  textAlign(CENTER);
  aa = new bouncyWord("nugget", width/4);
  fill(255);
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  aa.draw();
}

void mouseReleased() {     // ***   ADDED
  aa.toggle();
}

I hope this helps,

(you need a blank line before and after the code for it to show correctly. you need blank lines between paragraphs generally)
