How to call a function and have it continue by pressing a key once?

I want the ball.move(); function in the code below to continue running after pressing space once. It only works if I continue pressing the space key.
void draw() {
if (start == true) {ball.move();}
}
void keyPressed() {
if (key == ' '){start = true;}
}
void keyReleased() {
if (key == ' ') {start = false;}
}
It's for a Pong game I am making and each time the ball hits the edge it is teleported to the center of the canvas. That´s when I want to be able to start the ball movement manually again.
Here is the whole code:
Ball ball;
Player player1;
Player player2;
int scorePlayer1 = 0;
int scorePlayer2 = 0;
PFont font;
boolean start;
void setup() {
size(1368,768);
frameRate(144);
noStroke();
ball = new Ball(width/2, height/2, 30);
player1 = new Player(15, height/2, 30, 150);
player2 = new Player(width-15, height/2, 30, 150);
ball.speedX = 10;
}
void draw() {
background(0);
textSize(40);
textAlign(CENTER);
font = loadFont("Arial-Black-48.vlw");
textFont(font);
ball.display();
if (start == true) {ball.move();}
player1.run();
player2.run();
//Score
if (ball.left() < 0) {
scorePlayer2 = scorePlayer2 + 1;
ball.x = width/2;
ball.y = height/2;
}
if (ball.right() > width) {
scorePlayer1 = scorePlayer1 +1;
ball.x = width/2;
ball.y = height/2;
}
text(scorePlayer1, width/2-75, 50);
text(scorePlayer2, width/2+75, 50);
//Collision
if (ball.top() < 0) {
ball.speedY = -ball.speedY;
}
if (ball.bottom() > height) {
ball.speedY = -ball.speedY;
}
if (ball.left() < player1.right() && ball.y > player1.top()-10 && ball.y < player1.bottom()+10) {
ball.speedX = -ball.speedX;
ball.speedY = map(ball.y - player1.y, -player1.h/2, player1.h/2, -5, 5);
}
if (ball.right() > player2.left() && ball.y > player2.top()-10 && ball.y < player2.bottom()+10) {
ball.speedX = -ball.speedX;
ball.speedY = map(ball.y - player2.y, -player2.h/2, player2.h/2, -5, 5);
}
if (player1.bottom() > height) {
player1.y = height-player1.h/2;
}
if (player1.top() < 0) {
player1.y = player1.h/2;
}
if (player2.bottom() > height) {
player2.y = height-player1.h/2;
}
if (player2.top() < 0) {
player2.y = player1.h/2;
}
}
//Movement
void keyPressed() {
player1.pressed((key == 'w' || key == 'W'), (key == 's' || key == 'S'));
player2.pressed((keyCode == UP), (keyCode == DOWN));
if (key == ' '){start = true;}
}
void keyReleased() {
player1.released((key == 'w' || key == 'W'), (key == 's' || key == 'S'));
player2.released((keyCode == UP), (keyCode == DOWN));
if (key == ' ') {start = false;}
}
class Ball {

if (moveUp) {speedY -= 1;}
if (moveDown) {speedY += 1;}
speedY = max(-7.0, min(7.0, speedY));

}
void pressed(boolean up, boolean down) {
if (up) {moveUp = true;}
if (down) {moveDown = true;}
}
void released(boolean up, boolean down) {
if (up) {moveUp = false;}
if (down) {moveDown = false;}
}
//Collision help
float top() {
return y-h/2;
}
float bottom() {
return y+h/2;

float left() {
return x-w/2;
}
float right() {

}
}

In the code below, you are setting start to true when the key is pressed and false when the press is done. You can simply remove the line that sets start to false when the key press is done and the ball will always move when the space is pressed.
//Movement
void keyPressed() {
player1.pressed((key == 'w' || key == 'W'), (key == 's' || key == 'S'));
player2.pressed((keyCode == UP), (keyCode == DOWN));
if (key == ' '){start = true;}
}
void keyReleased() {
player1.released((key == 'w' || key == 'W'), (key == 's' || key == 'S'));
player2.released((keyCode == UP), (keyCode == DOWN));
//if (key == ' ') {start = false;}
}
I suppose you want the ball to stop moving when space is pressed again. This can be done in your keyPressed method as well by toggling start instead of setting it to true. Something like if (key == ' '){start = !start;}

Your problem is that when you release the space bar, it sets the start field to false. Then when the next draw() method is called, it sees that start==false and so doesn't move the ball.
If you remove that line from the keyReleased method, then it should run correctly?

Smooth movement in processing?

I want this code to effectively increase the smoothness of the transition between directions (it only works with one key at a time) so that I can use multiple keys. The problem is that whenever I change direction the "Player" stops and then continues in the new direction. I want the "Player" to smoothly transition between directions without having to fully release the active key before pressing the new one.
Main code:
Ball ball;
Player player1;
Player player2;
void setup() {
size(1368,768);
frameRate(60);
noStroke();
ball = new Ball(width/2, height/2, 30);
player1 = new Player(0, height/2, 30, 150);
player2 = new Player(width-30, height/2, 30, 150);
ball.speedX = -10;
ball.speedY = random(-5,5);
}
void draw() {
background(0);
ball.display();
ball.move();
player1.run();
player2.run();
//Collision
if (ball.top() < 0) {
ball.speedY = -ball.speedY;
}
if (ball.bottom() > height) {
ball.speedY = -ball.speedY;
}
if (ball.left() < 0) {
ball.speedX = 0;
ball.speedY = 0;
}
if (ball.right() > width) {
ball.speedX = 0;
ball.speedY = 0;
}
}
void keyPressed() {
player1.pressed((key == 'w' || key == 'W'), (key == 's' || key == 'S'));
player2.pressed((keyCode == UP), (keyCode == DOWN));
}
void keyReleased() {
player1.released((key == 'w' || key == 'W'), (key == 's' || key == 'S'));
player2.released((keyCode == UP), (keyCode == DOWN));
}
Player class code:
class Player {
float x, y;
int dy = 0;
float w, h;
float speedY = 5;
color c;
//Constructor
Player(float tempX, float tempY, float tempW, float tempH){
x = tempX;
y = tempY;
w = tempW;
h = tempH;
speedY = 0;
c = (255);
}
void run() {
display();
move();
}
void display() {
fill(c);
rect(x, y-h/2, w, h);
}
void move() {
y += dy * speedY;
}
void pressed(boolean up, boolean down) {
if (up) {dy = -1;}
if (down) {dy = 1;}
}
void released(boolean up, boolean down) {
if (up) {dy = 0;}
if (down) {dy = 0;}
}
}
Thanks in advance!

Add 2 attributes move_up and move_down to the class Player and set the attributes in
pressed respectively released:
class Player {
// [...]
boolean move_up = false, move_down = false;
void pressed(boolean up, boolean down) {
if (up) {move_up = true;}
if (down) {move_down = true;}
}
void released(boolean up, boolean down) {
if (up) {move_up = false;}
if (down) {move_down = false;}
}
}
Change speedY dependent on the attributes in move. Continuously reduce the speed if neither move_up not move_down is set (speedY = speedY * 0.95;). That causes that the player smoothly slows down if no key is pressed. If move_up or move_down is pressed the slightly change the speed dependent on the desired direction. Restrict the speed to a certain interval (speedY = max(-5.0, min(5.0, speedY));):
class Player {
// [...]
void move() {
if (!move_up && !move_down) {speedY *= 0.95;}
if (move_up) {speedY -= 0.1;}
if (move_down) {speedY += 0.1;}
speedY = max(-5.0, min(5.0, speedY));
y += speedY;
}
// [...]
}
Class Player:
class Player {
float x, y;
float w, h;
float speedY = 0.0;
color c;
boolean move_up = false, move_down = false;
//Constructor
Player(float tempX, float tempY, float tempW, float tempH){
x = tempX;
y = tempY;
w = tempW;
h = tempH;
c = (255);
}
void run() {
display();
move();
}
void display() {
fill(c);
rect(x, y-h/2, w, h);
println(y);
}
void move() {
if (!move_up && !move_down) {speedY *= 0.95;}
if (move_up) {speedY -= 0.1;}
if (move_down) {speedY += 0.1;}
speedY = max(-5.0, min(5.0, speedY));
y += speedY;
}
void pressed(boolean up, boolean down) {
if (up) {move_up = true;}
if (down) {move_down = true;}
}
void released(boolean up, boolean down) {
if (up) {move_up = false;}
if (down) {move_down = false;}
}
}

If you want smooth transitions, you're going to have to give up "adding a fixed integer distance" in the key handlers, and instead track which keys are down or not, and then accelerating/decelerating your player every time draw() runs. As simple illustration:
Box box;
boolean[] active = new boolean[256];
void setup() {
size(500,500);
box = new Box(width/2, height/2);
}
void draw() {
pushStyle();
background(0);
box.update(active); // First, make the box update its velocity,
box.draw(); // then, tell the box to draw itself.
popStyle();
}
void keyPressed() { active[keyCode] = true; }
void keyReleased() { active[keyCode] = false; }
With a simple box class:
class Box {
final float MAX_SPEED = 1, ACCELERATION = 0.1, DECELERATION = 0.5;
float x, y;
float dx=0, dy=0;
Box(float _x, float _y) { x=_x; y=_y; }
void draw() {
// We first update our position, based on current speed,
x += dx;
y += dy;
// and then we draw ourselves.
noStroke();
fill(255);
rect(x,y,30,30);
}
void update(boolean[] keys) {
if (keys[38]) { dy -= ACCELERATION ; }
else if (keys[40]) { dy += ACCELERATION ; }
else { dy *= DECELERATION; }
if (keys[37]) { dx -= ACCELERATION ; }
else if (keys[39]) { dx += ACCELERATION ; }
else { dx *= DECELERATION; }
dx = constrain(dx, -MAX_SPEED, MAX_SPEED);
dy = constrain(dy, -MAX_SPEED, MAX_SPEED);
}
}
The important part here is the update code, which updates the box's x and y velocity such that if a directional key is currently pressed, we increase the speeed (dx/dy) in that direction. Importantly, if no keys are pressed we also dampen the speed to that it returns to 0.
Finally, to make sure we don't end up with infinite speed, we cap the maximum allowed velocity.

How do I create a restart button that shows in the button left corner while the game is running?

Our restart button is only appearing by itself. Our two tanks disappear when we run the game. We haven't coded the function of the button, we're just trying to figure out how to make the button appear in the lower left corner
We moved the code into the game object class, but it does not change anything
This is our game object class. The button is at the bottom.

// separate functionality, and instantiate the derived/child classes instead. The purpose of this GameObject "parent" class is to
// provide the derived/child classes with a set of useful functions for handling physics interactions (eg. collisions with the terrain

Only the button appears, and player1 and player2 don't.

I think what you are trying to achieve is something like :
public static void main(String []args){
JButton button= new JButton("Reset");
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add(button);
frame.add(panel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
frame.add(new Arena(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}

this is just the main method btw, I do have other methods for the objects. I am not sure why this doesn't work, but if someone that has an Idea what the issue may be please lmk.

The processing draw function does not run on a seperate thread. When you have a while loop, which doesn't end, the draw-function never gets executed anymore.
You have to use variables scoped to the processing file and not just a function and then modify those variables inside the functions you currently use as the game-loops.
For example, if you want a program where a ball moves to the right and returns to coordinate 0 after passing it, you would have to structure it like this:
Ball ball = new Ball();
void draw() {
playBallGame();
drawBall();
}
void playBallGame() {
if (ball.x > width) ball.x = 0;
ball.x++;
}
Not like this:
void draw() {
drawBall();
playBallGame();
}
void playBallGame() {
Ball ball = new Ball();
while (true) {
if (ball.x > width) ball.x = 0;
ball.x++;
}
}

Java - Detection collision in 2D tile game

I'm having fun to build a 2D tile game (without Slick2D of libgdx) and I'm working on collision since more than 15 hours. I think it's time to ask question. I searched a lot but none really responds what I searched for.
So, this is what it look like : 2D game capture (The dark tile are were the player can't walking in) and Another 2D game capture
The rectangle are were collision can happen. There, when they collide, it's still moving just enough to be lock in the tile. (can't do nothing anymore)
So, my class is called by the input handler, the update and the draw. Theses three by the "play" class. Who just update stuff. (Player.MoveUp(), Player.draw, ...)
The "WorldManager" is where the tiles are managed (the only 4 of them and the getType() is to look up if it's blocked (0 valid and 1 blocked)
The "LevelGeneration" is where level, position of tiles and their ID is
mapped (with a int[][]) (he is ok' it create map with ID and when I
show then they are all good).
The AssetManager is where I cut sprites sheets to transform then in BufferedImage
The tilesize is 50 and the player is 41x36.
I have a problem since I want to have a liberty of mouvements (4 sides to make 8 mouvements sides ) and the anchor point seem to be at upperleft side
So here is my class (without imports and packages):
public class Player {
public static double SPEED;
public static int WIDTH, HEIGHT;
public static float XPos, YPos;
public static float destXPos, destYPos;
public static BufferedImage presentImage;
public static int[] position;
public static boolean moving;

public static void CreateHero(){
// Valeurs de test
position = new int[2];
SPEED = 1;
XPos = destXPos = 100;
YPos = destYPos = 100;
presentImage = AssetManager.Player[0][0];
moving = false;
movementlock = false;
collision = false;
position[0] = (int) (XPos/WorldManager.TileSize);
position[1] = (int) (YPos/WorldManager.TileSize);
}
public static void MoveUp(){
side = 0;
destYPos -= SPEED;
moving = ValidateNextPosition();
}
public static void MoveRight(){
side = 1;
destXPos += SPEED;
moving = ValidateNextPosition();
}
public static void MoveDown(){
side = 2;
destYPos += SPEED;
moving = ValidateNextPosition();
}
public static void MoveLeft(){
side = 3;
destXPos -= SPEED;
moving = ValidateNextPosition();
}
static void updateMovement(){
if(moving == true && mouvementlock == false){
mouvementlock = true;
System.out.println("Mouvement");
System.out.println("X : " + XPos);
System.out.println("Y : " + YPos);
XPos = destXPos;
YPos = destYPos;
System.out.println("Xdest : " + destXPos);
System.out.println("Ydest : " + destYPos);
System.out.println("" + moving);
moving = false;
mouvementlock = false;}
else{
destXPos = XPos;
destYPos = YPos;
}
}
public static boolean ValidateNextPosition(){
if(moving) return false;
if(collision) return false;
p = new Rectangle((int) XPos, (int) YPos, presentImage.getWidth(null),presentImage.getHeight(null));
int tileid = 0;
boolean validate = true;
int destpos[] = new int[2];
double TileCollision[] = new double[2];
destpos[0] = (int) destXPos/WorldManager.TileSize;
destpos[1] = (int) destYPos/WorldManager.TileSize;

destpos[1] -= 1;collision = true;}}
}
if(side == 1 && collision != true){
tileid = LevelGenerator.getIdmap()[destpos[0] + 1][destpos[1]];
if(destXPos + 1 < 0 || WorldManager.Tuiles[tileid].getType() == 1 ){
destpos[0] += 1;collision = true;}
}
if(side == 2 && collision != true){
tileid = LevelGenerator.getIdmap()[destpos[0]][destpos[1] + 1];
if(destYPos - 1 < 0 || WorldManager.Tuiles[tileid].getType() == 1 ){
destpos[1] += 1;collision = true;}
}
if(side == 3 && collision != true){

/*destpos[0] -= 1*/;collision = true;}
}
if (collision == true){

TileCollision[1] = LevelGenerator.getPosmap()[destpos[0]][destpos[1]][1];
e = new Rectangle((int) TileCollision[0], (int) TileCollision[1],WorldManager.TileSize,WorldManager.TileSize);}
if(e != null && p.intersects(e)){
validate = false;
System.out.println("collision");}
return validate;
}
public static void update() {
updateMovement();
}
public static void draw(Graphics2D g) {
g.drawImage(presentImage,(int) XPos,(int) YPos,presentImage.getWidth(null),presentImage.getWidth(null),null);
if(p != null){
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.drawRect(p.x, p.y, p.width, p.height);}
if(e != null){
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.drawRect(e.x, e.y, e.width, e.height);}
}
}
To resume,
The collision happen too late and the player get stuck in the blocked block.
Sometimes it pass through it since the (I suppose) the top left don't hit the block.
It can go out of the map without problems and then it crashed, but everything I tried keep crashing the game
Thank you very much and have a nice day
Hell'no
(P.S. : English is my third language, so ask me if you don't completely understand)

When collision gets set to true and your ValidateNextPosition method returns false, collision (and by extension your moving variable) can never be toggled again because of your if(collision) return false statement at the top.
