So I’d been racking my brain on this for some time, wondering why my sketch wasn’t working. Then I realized what was wrong. Hopefully anyone in the same predicament and searching the web will find this helpful.
Mouse Position cannot updated inside of a while-loop.
Run this and see:
void setup(){
size(300,300);
}
void draw(){
while (mouseX < 150){
println(“in while-loop”);
println(“frameCount: ” +frameCount);
println(“mouse position: “+mouseX+”, ” +mouseY);
}
println(“out of loop”); //you will never see this
}
