Progress Bar

Questions
1

Has someone ever thought about how to code a progress bar? Say, the bar should be full after 5 secs, and it should be slowly uodated.
Thanks!

Sure,
In setup:

prog = 10
rate = 2.5

In draw():

rectMode(CORNER)
    rect(2, HEIGHT - 15, prog, 15)
    
    if ElapsedTime < 5
    then prog = prog + rate
    elseif ElapsedTime > 5 then
    prog = WIDTH - 10
    end

Note: I wrote this specifically to fill in landscape mode. You would have to slow the rate so that it would work in portrait mode

If you want to run it in full screen mode, change rate to 3.5 (landscape) and leave it as 2.5 for fullscreen portrait mode

Edit: To make it support both simply add

if CurrentOrientation == 3 or CurrentOrientation == 2 then 
    rate = 3.5
    else rate = 2.5
    end

to the draw function and take rate out of setup

Slightly revamped version:

Leave setup(), but in draw():

fill(0, 174, 255, 255)
    rectMode(CORNER)
    rect(2, HEIGHT - 50, prog, 50)
    
    if CurrentOrientation == 3 or CurrentOrientation == 2 then 
    rate = 3.55
    else rate = 2.65
    end
    
    if ElapsedTime < 5
    then prog = prog + rate
    elseif ElapsedTime > 5 then
    prog = WIDTH - 2
    end
    
    fill(127, 127, 127, 255)
    w,h = textSize("LOADING...")
    if prog > w then
    text("LOADING...", prog - prog/2, HEIGHT - 25)
    end

I had thought of making a class for one. Perhaps in the next few days.

Many thanks to you all. I completely forgot about ElapsedTime command … Maybe a wait command would be great to have.

Yeah I will be making one with rounded corners and such soon as well. I will post if I ever get it complete.
