setTimeout() in draw()

[doktorbanana]

hi,

i'm new to coding and have some problems understanding the setTimeout() and setInterval() functions. I want to use them to draw something every 2seconds. How do i do that?

I tried: `function setup() { createCanvas(400, 400); }

function draw() { background(220); setInterval(doit,2000) }

function doit(){ ellipse(200,200,20); }`

That doesnt work. I guess that has to do with the loop of the draw-function. Can someone help?

Thanks.

draw() is a interval by itself - by default it will draw a thing in each 1/60 of a second. You can modify that in setup with - frameRate(10) - will draw a thing each 1/10 of a second. What can stop the loop with noLoop() but in this case just don't use draw(). Just place the interval outside and place the background(220) function in doit(). Try this:

function setup() { createCanvas(400, 400); }

setInterval(doit,2000);

function doit(){ background(220); ellipse(random(0,200),random(0,200),20); }
