Hello! I am trying to add text with every keypressed. So if key is pressed, words “I BET” show up, then when key pressed again, “YOU DIDN’T”… and so on.
So far this is what I have: it shows all the text at once when key is pressed. Anyone out there know how to help? Thanks:)
void setup() {
size (1000,1000);
background (0,0,255);
}
void draw() { } // Empty draw() needed to keep the program running
void keyPressed() {
if (keyPressed == true) {
textSize (100);
fill(255);
text ("I BET", 0, 100);//("pressed " + int(key) + " " + keyCode);
} else {
fill(255);
}
if (keyPressed == true) {
textSize (100);
fill(255);
text ("YOU DIDN'T", 0, 200);//("pressed " + int(key) + " " + keyCode);
} else {
fill(255);
}
if (keyPressed == true) {
textSize (100);
fill(255);
text ("THINK", 0, 300);//("pressed " + int(key) + " " + keyCode);
} else {
fill(255);
}
if (keyPressed == true) {
textSize (100);
fill(255);
text ("YOU LOOKED", 0, 400);//("pressed " + int(key) + " " + keyCode);
} else {
fill(255);
}
if (keyPressed == true) {
textSize (100);
fill(255);
text ("THIS GOOD", 0, 500);//("pressed " + int(key) + " " + keyCode);
} else {
fill(255);
}
if (keyPressed == true) {
textSize (100);
fill(255);
text ("WHILE WORKING", 0, 600);//("pressed " + int(key) + " " + keyCode);
} else {
fill(255);
}
if (keyPressed == true) {
textSize (100);
fill(255);
text ("OUT", 0, 700);//("pressed " + int(key) + " " + keyCode);
} else {
fill(255);
}
}

Hello and welcome to the processing forum!
void keyPressed() {is called when a key is pressed only; so no need to check if (keyPressed == true) { inside of it.
But remember, that processing runs through the entire keyPressed() so all texts are shown.
What you could do is that you have a int variable textNumber and increase it every time a key is pressed. Now, in draw you check textNumber :
if(textNumber == 1) {
....
} else if(textNumber == 2) {
....
}
.....
Warm regards, Chrisir

Hey aranzz:
This seemed like fun, so pulled up a copy of my empty, log enabled shell sketch
and popped in an expression of Chrisr’s suggestion.
