processing code dump for today (I just cant be bothered bringing in my laptop). this code kinda works, and kinda dosnt. the aim is to constantly read the text file while it being created and update the processing thingy while Unreal is being played.


void setup() {
size (880,625); //was 625 by 625
background(252,255,255);
