Keyboard commands to switch through videos in Processing

I am working on a creative code project for school using Processing.

We have a series of 5 videos where each one is corresponding to a different key on the keyboard.

Does anyone have some quick code for this? simply pressing a button which pulls up the corresponding video.

  • This is not the place to ask for ready-made code, but for asking help with code you already wrote. Next time, try having a reproducible example (link) ready:

    For now, here's an answer that may get you on the right track.

    Take a look at the video (link) library to load and play your videos. You need to create a Movie object and play it using the play() (link) function.

    The keyPressed() (link) function can be used to check if a certain input() has been pressed, though I am not sure how your 'Makey Makey' interacts with your computer. If you can make it press buttons on your keyboard, listen for those keyCodes (link) in your keyPressed() function.
