Great tutorials, very helpful! Can't wait to get into midi input!

When will we have that pleasure? :)

@joaographic This month - You actually stumbled on these at a good time. I haven't uploaded any tutorials for processing in a while.

You can't imagine how helpful this has been. Can't wait for the next tutorial. By the way, how often are you uploading them?

[ste1438]

Not eften as I'd like to - It's real hard to find time. I'll be posting more though. I'll probably upload a few all at the same time.

i was wondering if i could ask you a small question, seeing how you know a lot about processing...what does "map" do (in plain english)? I tried to understand what it does by definition, but I can't quite explain it. I know it works, but I don't understand how to explain it works.

[ste1438]

Easiest way to think of it - it's a ratio. If I had a point(x.y) on 100x100 square, and I needed to map that same point(exact location) on other squares with different dimensions even proportions. I could use the map statement to do that. The x value for a 100x100 square is some numer between 0 and 100. Lets say 10. The map statement will find a value for x between a new range. Let say a 200x200 square. x is now betweenn 0 and 200. x=20.

You actually never made a new video :( You were talking about mouse inputs, libraries, sound, video etc. Instead you are making videos bout FL :( Thats just sad. Please do more Processing videos

@neokaia1 if you wated all the tutorials just buy/dl a book. You already know the basics.

[shebotnov]

yes very helpful! Thanks!

@dinorama13 No problemo!

@sebadam2007

thnks a lot!!

seemed like a simple enough program but just couldnt figure out why it wasnt woking!

well...i got it now so thnks agn!

[sebadam2007]

@dinorama13 Also, int centerX=0; should've been int centerX=width/2; otherwise it wouldn't of worked.

[sebadam2007]

@dinorama13 Also about the information about why it didn't work. Well, I kinda know. The noLoop() means that something that is drawed or something wont loop.(Means that it wont write again and again(So basically it wont be seen(Written))) So you need to put (int centerX=width/2; int centerY=height/2;) in the void draw() so that it will be looped.. I think that is why.

[sebadam2007]

@dinorama13 Hey, i Just saw your comment and tried to find out why this doesn't work and I found out how to do this. (Hopefully you haven't worked it out yet). void setup() { size(500,500); background(128); smooth(); noLoop(); } void draw() {int centerX=width/2; int centerY=height/2; ellipse(centerX,centerY,70,70)­; } It has to be set out like that. int centerX=width/2; int centerY=height/2; has to be in void draw. Its because of the noLoop it didn't work. Happy to help. :)
