How do I make the timer stop and reset?

Chrisir

It’s very hard to hit a pixel exactly

Better work with

if(mouseX>34 && 
   mouseX<45 &&
   mouseY>..... &&
   mouseY< ......) { 

Also you need this to be in draw() not in mousePressed() for example so that it’s displaying throughout and not only flashes briefly

kfrajer

Not familiar with your code, but your conditional above is restrictive in nature. Your mouse pointer have to be very precisely and carefully placed at the position x,y => 38,14. Instead, you should use the dist() function to detect when the pointer is close to the position:

final int MIN_DISTA = 10;  //10 px radius
final PVector eggLocation = new PVector(38,14);

if (dist(mouseX,mouseY,eggLocation.x,eggLocation.y) < MIN_DISTA) {...}

You can adjust the min dista. If making the above change doesn't solve the problem, then it is very likely you have a bug in your code.

Chrisir, I want it to be hard for the player to get the easter egg. But even if I get rid of the if statement and leave just these lines of code:

fill(#AAAAAA);
    textSize(56);
    text("You found our secret!", 150, 150);

it still won't work. What's going on?

/*
 Press 'q' to move up.
 Press 's' to move down.
 Press 'u' to move left.
 Press 'i' to move right.
 Press 'v' to restart.

Chrisir

Maybe it’s white text on white ground?

Change color or position

Or move these lines to the very end of draw()

Vaz123

Sorry, still not working. Also, it's not white.

Chrisir

??

White was an example

You still have == instead of .....>....<....>.....<......

Post your entire code

Chrisir

The lines must be in one of the functions and at the end

Nothing in draw is allowed outside switch

Chrisir

It gets overwritten by background otherwise

Vaz123

Nothing in draw is allowed outside switch

Sorry, I don't understand what that means.

Where does the if class in line 98 end and why???

WOW somehow I did not see that. Also why are these lines of code here?

if (key==' ') {
    /// if (state==FAIL) 
    state=NORMAL;
    x = 10;
    y = 380;
  }

Chrisir

the user can hit space bar to reset

you can delete them when you like "v" more

Vaz123

Thank you, Chrisir.

Chrisir

;-)

Vaz123

Chrisir, why cant I put these lines of code in void inputs()?

if (key == 'v') {
    if (state==WON) {
      state=NORMAL; 
      x = 10;
      y = 380;
      reset();
    }
  }

I changed these lines of code:

void keyPressed() {
  if (key == 'v') {
    if (state==WON) {
      state=NORMAL; 
      x = 10;
      y = 380;
      reset();
    }
  }
}

to the first lines of code I showed you, yet it still didn't work. Can you help me?

Chrisir

As we discussed inputs() is not called in the state WON - see function drawForOne

It’s not called to make sure that the user can’t move the character when he has won

Since keyPressed() gets called automatically by processing (other than inputs()) it gets called in all states and therefore works here.

In bigger projects we would also use switch(state) in keyPressed() to make sure that keys are handled differently in each state.

There is another major difference when using keyPressed() as a function : here each key press is evaluated only once. This means that the steering of the character would not be as smooth in keyPressed() because you would hit the key again and again instead of just holding it down.

Chrisir

Vaz123

Thank you because it made me think of a very easy solution: just put these lines of code into void inputs()

if (key == 'v') {
    if (state==WON) {
      state=NORMAL; 
      x = 10;
      y = 380;
      reset();
    }
  }

then put inputs() in void drawForWon().

Chrisir

then put inputs() in void drawForWon().

Well, that's bad since then you can move your character when he has reached the target. Bad.

As I wrote:

Vaz123

Well, that's bad since then you can move your character when he has reached the target.

That didn't happen to me. I can't move my character.

Chrisir

ah, ok

Vaz123

Now I've changed the easter egg so it will just show some random shapes.

if (mouseX == 38 && mouseY == 14) {
    fill(#AAAAAA);
    rect(368, 92, 76, 165);
    ellipse(82, 78, 71, 71);
  }
}

Probably will be more than just this. Also, what happens when I press the "export" button?

Chrisir

Easter egg will just flash briefly..?

Export means that you make an executable file that runs without processing on any machine (where Java is installed I think).

Vaz123

Easter egg will just flash briefly..?

When I put it in draw() and in the if statement to see what it would look like, it doesn't flash.

NIce!

Vaz123

How are you even able to get the mouse at that exact position? And what if I wanted to make this game online some day?

Chrisir

Exact position of mouse: As said, better use >....&& ....< .... etc. to make the spot a little bigger for the mouse

Second question summoning jeremydouglas

Chrisir

It’s very hard to hit a pixel exactly

Better work with

if(mouseX>34 && 
   mouseX<45 &&
   mouseY>..... &&
   mouseY< ......) { 

Also you need this to be in draw() not in mousePressed() for example so that it’s displaying throughout and not only flashes briefly

Vaz123

Thank you very much, kfrajer. Sorry for not using your code.

Chrisir, it's not in mousePressed().

Chrisir

what if I wanted to make this game online some day?

try

https://www.openprocessing.org/home/join

Vaz123

Chrisir, when will this line of code occur?

if (!keyPressed) {
    return;
  }

Vaz123

Nvm I figured it out by getting rid of it temporarily.

Chrisir

It’s leaving the function immediately so the rest of the function can assume that the key is pressed

The ! sign means not

Vaz123

Chrisir, why are these lines of code in draw()?

fill(255);

It will just get overwritten by fill(0, 255, 255); in drawForNormal().

Chrisir

I can’t see it in your last full sketch above

So you are probably right

But remember to press ctrl-t regularly for auto format

Vaz123

I've done this to switch(state).

Chrisir

Looks good

Vaz123

Chrisir, why does NORMAL have formatting?

Chrisir

It seems to be a pre-defined constant like LEFT or RIGHT.

Work around: have all 3 constants (not only NORMAL!) with a prefix STATE_

Vaz123

Thank you, Chrisir.

jeremydouglass

@Vaz123 -- these pre-defined constant keywords are special values that have specific meanings to certain built-in Processing functions.

You can find a complete list of them here:

• https://processing.github.io/processing-javadocs/core/processing/core/PConstants.html

and here in the source code:

• https://github.com/processing/processing/blob/master/core/src/processing/core/PConstants.java

...but in general, which constants are relevant is discussed in the documentation of a particular method.

Chrisir

It's coincidence that Vaz named a variable same as a constant that already exists. The new variable is overshadowing the existing one, but the color routine for the code (better word needed) still highlights the word (falsely) as an internal special constant (keyword).

Obviously the color routine for the code is not connected to the parser (hence this minor error in the formatting of the word NORMAL).

;-)

jeremydouglass

In PDE, when you type the name of a recognized built-in constant that word will turn gray-green. This gives you a hint that you are shadowing a built-in keyword if this is something that you want to avoid.

I'm now trying to add a minute digit into the timer, but it's not working. Can you please help me?

    int min = 0;
//...
difference = millis() - count_at_reset;
      sec = difference /1000;
      fill(255);
      textSize(26);
      text(sec, 300, 30);
      text(min +":", 275, 30);
      if (difference > 60) {
        sec = 0;
        min++;
      }

kfrajer

void setup() {
  size(200, 200);
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  int  difference = millis()/1000 - 0;  //Time difference wrt the beginning of times
  int currentSecs=difference%60;
  int currentMins= (difference-currentSecs)/60;  //*** EDITED
  text("Time lapsed: "+nfs(currentMins, 2, 0)+":"+nfs(currentSecs, 2, 0), width/2, height/2);
}

Kf

Vaz123

Thank you kfrajer. But could you make it so that mins has only one digit? I would also appreciate it if you could help me put the text "SLOW" once the time reaches 9:59.

difference = millis()/1000 - 0;
  sec = difference%60;
  min = (difference-sec)%60;
  fill(255);
  textSize(26);
  text(nfs(min,2,0)+":"+nfs(sec,2,0), 300, 30);

kfrajer

You can check the documentation for nfs(). So it will be

text(nfs(min,1,0)+":"+nfs(sec,2,0), 300, 30); //NOTICE change 2 to 1

For the text SLOW, it is like this (untested):

final int SLOWTIME=9*60+59; // 9:59 in seconds

void setup() {
  size(200, 200);
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  int  difference = millis()/1000 - 0;  //Time difference wrt the beginning of times

  if(difference<SLOWTIME){
    int currentSecs=difference%60;
    int currentMins= (difference-currentSecs)/60;  //*** EDITED
    text("Time lapsed: "+nfs(currentMins, 2, 0)+":"+nfs(currentSecs, 2, 0), width/2, height/2);
  }
  else{
    text("SLOW", width/2, height/2);
  }
}

Don’t be lazy

Tty to fix it

Write exactly what happens falsely and what you want to happen instead

Which line numbers?

Does the code run or not?

What error happens?

Vaz123

I managed to get the reset function working properly again, kind of. If I HOLD 'v' instead of just press it, the time will go from 0:00 to 0:01 for a brief moment. Also, there were no errors, so the sketch ran as usual, except the function void reset() didn't work as intended. Also, the minute digit will not increment once the second digit reaches 60. Could you help me with that?

My mistake, this line min = (difference-sec)%60; needs to be changed to

min = (difference-sec)/60;

I have updated my posts above.

except the function void reset() didn't work as intended

If a press v, the game resets. So I don't see a problem there. Also consider using AWSD letters to move your player instead of using u+i for lateral movement, unless you have a specific reason to do it using those keys instead.
