Can't see how delay works.

2000mater

Script looks like the following, but "other" and "stuff" appear at the same time after the delay. I want them to have delay between each other and I also want to start "void stuff" only from "void other", so what should I do?

PFont allfont;

void setup() {
  size(1280,720);
  allfont = createFont("8bitoperator_jve.ttf",100);
  textFont(allfont);
  textAlign(CENTER,CENTER);
  other();
}

void other() {
  text("other",width/2,height/2);
  stuff();
}

void stuff() {
  delay(1000);
  text("stuff",width/2 + 250,height/2);
}

Using millis: second text not appearing. what's with voids not accepting delays and millis?

koogs

you have no draw() loop which is probably why millis isn't working.

screen gets updated only once at the end of draw not throughout

use draw and millis
