the final thing

this is what it looks like, and that's what it all means.

final processing code:


//finds a word, sends a signal to the lilypad then stops the loop.

import processing.serial.*;

Serial port;

String[] tokens; //array
int counter;

void setup() {
size(100, 100);

println(Serial.list());
port = new Serial(this,Serial.list()[0], 9600);

//load file and split up words
String[] lines = loadStrings("http://twitter.com/fiowantscoffee");
String allText = join(lines, " ");
tokens = splitTokens(allText, " ,.?!:;[]-");

}

//so it's now pulling in that sentence and splitting it up.

void draw() {
background(255);
fill(0);

String s = tokens[counter];
counter = (counter +1) % tokens.length;
//look at the words one at a time please

if (s.equals("coffee")) {
println("coffee");
port.write('A');
noLoop(); //DON'T LOOP IT BAHBEE.
}

that's all a lot shorter than i wanted it to be, but oh well.
