I am using Processing to create a basketball game. I have managed to create the basketball game but I want to have a click to start home screen. I have made the graphic for the home screen but I am not sure how to integrate it into the game code. Any ideas on how to go about this. Thanks!
I found something on the internet related to this which was...
if (started) {
//all the code for the game
} else {
// all the code for the start screen
if (keyDown("enter")) {
started = true;
}
}
Im not sure if this is leading me in the right direction or how I could necessarily use this.
Use keyPressed() outside the draw().
void keyPressed() {
println(int(key));
if (key==10) {
println("ENTER");
}
}
key - contains the value of the most recent key on the keyboard that was used (either pressed or released).
What is described in: https://processing.org/reference/keyPressed_.html
Here is a little demo program that may help you. The global variable started controls whether the game has begun or not. The function keyPressed sets it to true if you press the ENTER key.
In draw, put your game code in the first if-part and your waiting screen in the second.
boolean started = false;
void draw() {
background(0);
textAlign(CENTER);
if (started) {
// your game code here
text("gameplay", 50, 50);
} else {
// your start/launch screen here
text("waiting...", 50, 50);
}
}
void keyPressed() {
if (keyCode == ENTER) {
started = true;
}
}

I personally don't know how much help I can get in this situation. I was trying to make a Flappy bird sketch off of Daniel Shiffman's videos using the p5.js web editor, however when the keyPressed() function was used (which I am familiar with because I did a bunch with Processing), I would get no response. Now originally, it was if(key === ' ') { that was being used, and when the space bar was pressed, the sketch would reset. However, when I tried with other letters, then eventually to just the keyPressed example from the reference, it still wouldn't do anything. It even worked on the website's example, however it wouldn't work in the web editor. What is happening?
Example code:
let value = 0;
function draw() {
fill(value);
rect(25, 25, 50, 50);
}
function keyPressed() {
if (value === 0) {
value = 255;
} else {
value = 0;
}
}
Try this:
//in the draw function
if (keyIsDown(LEFT_ARROW /*or what ever*/)) {
//action
}
I am trying to make a calculator in processing. My thought process for how this is going to work is to make a function for if a certain number is pressed on the keyboard. So I would create some sort of for loop or array even that would sense when a number is pressed, and then return true if it goes through the if statements, however, in order for this to work, I would need to put a variable in the place of a specific key on the keyboard. Is this possible?
Code (so far):
void setup() {
size(800,600);
}
void draw() {
background(0);
Nums.create();
}
class Nums {
void create() {
for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
zero(i);
}
}
boolean zero(int amnt) {
if (keyPressed) {
if (key == amnt) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
}
They keyPressed variable and the functions like keyPressed() and keyReleased() are specifically for keyboard input. They don't, and shouldn't, be concerned with on-screen buttons that you click with the mouse.
Instead, you should probably use the mousePressed() function to detect when the mouse is clicked, and then use if statements to figure out which button was clicked. You can use point-rectangle collision detection to detect which button was clicked. There's also a button sketch in the examples that come with the Processing editor.
I have a Rectangle which I can touch with this command below.
if ((mouse.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed )&&
TextureRectangle.Contains((int)MousePos.X,(int)MousePos.Y))
{
// Action;
}
But is there a Command like "Not Contains", so I wanna do something else if the user touch out of the "TextureRectangle" area?
When I click to the Rectangle that both actions starts. I really dont know where the problem is.
if (mouse.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed){
if(TextureRectangle.Contains((int)MousePos.X, (int)MousePos.Y)) {
music1.Play();
}
else{
music2.Play();
}
}
my problem is that music1 and music2 plays at same time if i click on the Rectangle, i want that when i click on the Rectangle that music1 plays only (here is the problem , both starts to play)and when i click out of the Rectangle should start only music2 to play ( this case is ok)
I would strongly recommend you to get a programming book / ebook and start reading it. This is basic computer logic stuff.
if (mouse.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed)
{
if (TextureRectangle.Contains((int)MousePos.X, (int)MousePos.Y))
{
// inside
}
else
{
// outside
}
}
OR
if (mouse.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed)
{
if (!TextureRectangle.Contains((int)MousePos.X, (int)MousePos.Y))
{
// outside
}
else
{
// inside
}
}
I have a 3dtext named Play, which when clicked will play the animation; the other one is named Back, which reverses the animation. Problem is after I Played and Backed it, the animation wont play anymore when i clicked Play.
The animation named redsubmenu is in legacy and clamp forever wrap mode.
public class PlayButtonScript : MonoBehaviour {
//public static PlayButtonScript pbs;
public GameObject redsubmenu;
void Update(){
#if UNITY_EDITOR
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit hit;
if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)&&Physics.Raycast(ray,out hit)){
if(hit.collider.name == "Play"){
redsubmenu.animation.Play();
}
}
#endif
}
}
public class BackButtonScript : MonoBehaviour {
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
#if UNITY_EDITOR
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit hit;
if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)&&Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit)){
if(hit.collider.name == "Back"){
transform.parent.animation["redsubmenu"].speed = -1;
transform.parent.animation.Play("redsubmenu");
}
}
#endif
}
}
It appears that you never reset the speed of the animation back to 1. When you click play the first time the speed is initially 1, so it works fine. However, when you back you set the speed to -1 and it is never set to any other value.
Try using:
if (hit.collider.name == "Play") {
transform.parent.animation["redsubmenu"].speed = 1;
redsubmenu.animation.Play();
}
in your play button script.
You might also be able to make use of Animation.Rewind.
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Animation.Rewind.html
Just to be more specific, i edited my playbuttonscript as shown below:
if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)&&Physics.Raycast(ray,out hit)){
if(hit.collider.name == "Play"){
if(redsubmenu.animation["redsubmenu"].speed == -1){
redsubmenu.animation["redsubmenu"].speed = 1;
} else {
redsubmenu.animation.Play();
}
}
}
in my back button, i delete the transform.parent.animation.Play, no need for that.
Is there a way to limit mouse pointer movement to a specific area in wxWidgets? I know there is an API function ClipCursor() in Windows, but is there a method in wxWidgets for all platforms?
No. There is no such function in wx by all i know. Start up a timer (say 50ms) checking the global mouse position. If the mouse is outside the region, then set it into again.
If you want to restrict the mouse for some certain reason, for example to make some sort of game, then you can capture the mouse (see wxWindow::CaptureMouse). You will get mouse events even if the pointer is outside your window. Then you could react to mouse-motion events and do the check for the position there, without a timer. Downside of this is that the mouse won't be able to be used somewhere else for other programs since they won't receive events.
wxWidgets manual states that OSX guidelines forbid the programs to set the mouse pointer to a certain position programmatically. That might contribute to the reason there is not much support for such stuff in wx, especially since wx tries really hard to be compatible to everything possible.
Small sample. Click on the button to restrict the mouse to area 0,0,100,100. Click somewhere to release it.
#include <wx/wx.h>
namespace sample {
class MyWin : public wxFrame {
public:
MyWin()
:wxFrame(0, wxID_ANY, wxT("haha title")) {
mRestricted = wxRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
mLast = mRestricted.GetTopLeft();
wxButton * button = new wxButton(this, wxID_ANY, wxT("click this"));
}
private:
void OnClicked(wxCommandEvent& event) {
if(!HasCapture()) {
CaptureMouse();
CheckPosition();
}
}
void OnMotion(wxMouseEvent& event) {
CheckPosition();
}
void OnLeft(wxMouseEvent& event) {
if(HasCapture())
ReleaseMouse();
}
void CheckPosition() {
wxPoint pos = wxGetMousePosition();
if(!mRestricted.Contains(pos)) {
pos = ScreenToClient(mLast);
WarpPointer(pos.x, pos.y);
} else {
mLast = pos;
}
}
wxRect mRestricted;
wxPoint mLast;
DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE();
};
BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(MyWin, wxFrame)
EVT_BUTTON(wxID_ANY, MyWin::OnClicked)
EVT_MOTION(MyWin::OnMotion)
EVT_LEFT_DOWN(MyWin::OnLeft)
END_EVENT_TABLE()
class MyApp : public wxApp {
virtual bool OnInit() {
MyWin * win = new MyWin;
win -> Show();
SetTopWindow(win);
return true;
}
};
} /* sample:: */
