edited September 2017 in Using Processing

I'm trying to run this code, don't know what is wrong. Please help! Receiving this message:

Could not run the sketch (Target VM failed to initialize). Make sure that you haven't set the maximum available memory too high. For more information, read revisions.txt and Help → Troubleshooting.

    String[] words;

    IntDict concordance;

    int index = 0;
    void setup() {
      size(600, 400);
      String[] lines = loadStrings("melissa.txt");
      String allthetxt = join(lines, " ");
      words = splitTokens(allthetxt," ,.:;!¡¿?");
      printArray(words);

      for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i++){
        concordance.increment(words[i]);
      } 
      println(concordance);
    }

    void draw(){
      background(0);
      textSize(64);
      textAlign(CENTER);
      text(words[index], width/2, height/2);
      index++;
    }

  • It might be that melissa.txt is causing the bug. In your sketch path data folder try removing the file and recreating it.
