loop()

The loop function is called by Bitsbox twenty times every second. Define your own loop function to repeat some code over and over.

Here's a program. Its loop function draws an apple on the screen, each time a different size.

function loop() {   stamp('apple',random(100)) }

Here's one that uses a counter to fade the screen color from black to white.

i = 0 function loop() {   i = i + 1   red = i   green = i   blue = i   fill(red,green,blue) }

Often you may want to stop a loop operation once an event occurs, such as when a game is won or lost. In such a case, setting the loop function to null will do what you need.

i = 0 function loop() {   i = i + 1   if (i == 10) {     text('Ten loops run. Game over',100,500)     loop = null   } }
