Processing tutorial - 18 - Using Arrays in Processing

Eighteenth video in the Processing programming tutorial series. In this video we take a look at how we can use arrays in Processing to create multiple Balls and have them move around the screen at the same time.

I'm committed to providing free quality computer science education for everyone. Your help can make that happen!

Wow Thank you so MUCH!! my teacher tried to explain it 10 times in studyclass. I never understood my lesson.

You explain it so well, that I finally understand how it's working! Thank you SOOOO much!!!

So what is the difference between doing a java cast "(int)random(50, 400)" or using the int() function?

what does the first capitalized "Ball" in "Ball ball = new Ball(...)" do?

If 'balls' is an array of Balls can i call a single element in that array? I'm trying to make an if statement that when the last ball changes to a specific color the words 'you win' will appear in the middle of the screen. Here is what i wrote so far:

for(int i = 0; i < circs.length; i++){
if(circs[i].c==(color(255, 0, 0))){
fill(255, 255, 0);// makes the text color yellow
textAlign(CENTER);
textSize(80);// makes the text size bigger than the default
text("YOU WIN", 640, 360); // my screen size is 1280 and 720 just like yours
}
}

The problem is that this when i execute this code it spits out the text as soon as 1 circle turns red instead of when all of them are red.

my array is called circs instead of balls and my color function in my class is called c.
