Mirror video doodles. ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Processing Libraries

While I’m studying the book ‘Learning processing’, written by Daniel Shiffman, there’s keep error on my code.

import processing.video.*;
Capture video;
float x;
float y;

void setup() {
  size(352, 288);
  background(255);
  x = width/2;
  y = width/2;
  video = new Capture(this, width, height);
  video.start();
}

void captureEvent(Capture video) {
  video.read();
}

void draw() { 
  video.loadPixels();
  float nex = constrain(x + random(-20, 20), 0, video.width-1);
  float ney = constrain(y + random(-20, 20), 0, video.height-1);

  int midx = int((x+nex)/2);
  int midy = int((y+nex)/2);
  println((video.width - midx - 1) + midy * video.width);
  color c = video.pixels[(video.width - midx - 1) + midy * video.width];

  stroke(c);
  strokeWeight(6);
  line(x, y, nex, ney);

  x = nex;
  y = ney;
}

it just keep telling me a limited array number and also the number keep changes.

you can check this code on the book that I mentioned chapter 16 video part.

Welcome Elom,

Haven’t tested your code, but I guess the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException occurs because you’re asking for a pixel that isn’t there. Your window size is 352 by 288 pixels, meaning there are 101.376 pixels in total.

Pretty sure you meant to multiply midy by video.height?

Also not sure you can assume the video pixels are not empty until the first frame is received.
