Question

hey, I need help in computer processing. How do you get a shape to move according to the minute?

Answer 1

Explain?

Answer 2

In computer processing, I have to type a code that makes a certain shape (ex. ellipse) move after every minute. For example, the following code makes a circle move from left to right. My problem is that I need help typing a code that makes the ball move across the window according to the minute.

float cx;
float cy;

final float DIAM = 20;
float xSpeed = 1.0;

void setup()
{
size(350, 250);
smooth();
cx = DIAM / 2.0;
cy = height / 2.0;
}

void draw()
{
background(255);
fill(0, 128, 128);
ellipse(cx, cy, DIAM, DIAM);
cx = cx + xSpeed;
if (cx > width - DIAM / 2.0) // about to go off sketch at the right
{
xSpeed = -xSpeed;
}
if (cx < DIAM / 2.0) // about to go off sketch at the left
{
xSpeed = -xSpeed;
}
}
