Random Text Generator (using stored text/data)

Processing Project Guidance
3

Hi @kll, yes what you’ve described is right.
I may simplify my project first however and create a random text generator which generates text when mousepressed.

I am using this example code so far but I don’t know where to add in mousepressed as I keep getting an error that I am mixing active and static modes:

background(50,100,150);
fill(255);

PFont letterGothic;
letterGothic = loadFont("NotoNastaliqUrdu-48.vlw");
textFont(letterGothic,32);

// Array 

String[] nouns = {"monkey","space","cowboy","King","nut"};
String[]adjectives = {"crazy","spinning","bubbly","stinky","smelly","unreal","slow","purple"}; 

int n = int(random(6));
int m = int(random(8));

textAlign(CENTER);
text(nouns[n],45,60);
text(adjectives[m],45,40);

When I get this right I will look into getting the ‘text data’ entered by a player/participant.

But for the meantime trying to work out where to put mousePressed and why!
M
