Processing Coding Questions

hi! I made one game with loop.And there is game screen in the end.But this screen should be active for 5 seconds in the loop.My code is like this:

void draw()
{
...
if( frameCount / 60 == 3 )
  {
    fill(255, 0, 255);
    textSize(100);
    text("GAME OVER!", 80, 500);
    playGame = false;

if( playGame == false && frameCount > 180 )//wait 5 seconds
  {
    playGame = true;
  }
....

there is something wrong but i don’t know why this code isn’t working.Can you help me please?

separate where you set playGame and where you display the message



boolean playGame=true; 
int gameTimer=0, gameOverTimer=0; 


// in draw()

// step 1: set game over?
if (playGame) {
  if (millis() - gameTimer > 30000) { // 30 seconds 
    playGame = false;
    gameOverTimer = millis();
  }
}

// step 2: display message 
if (playGame == false) {
  fill(255, 0, 255);
  textSize(100);
  text("GAME OVER!", 80, 500);

  if (millis() - gameOverTimer > 5000) {
    // wait 5 seconds
    // go back: 
    playGame = true;
    gameTimer = millis();
  }
}

Hello,

Try it with two separate if() blocks.
Use println() statements to monitor flow of code.

void draw()
  {
  if( )
    {
    //...
    println("Game Over!");
    println(playGame);
    }
    
  if( )//wait 5 seconds
    {
    //...
    println(playGame);
    noLoop();
    }  
  }

:)
