Processing with tuio - image-processing

Question

hi i am new to processing and i'm trying to figure out how to make the sphere move from left to right using a marker instead of the mouse. can you help me please? i can use the marker to shoot but i cant move the sphere by shooting

What do you mean by "shooting" ?
So you have your tuioClient and you initialize it in setup(). Thats good, because then the callback methods (addTuioObject, removeTuioObject, updateTuioObject, addTuioCursor, updateTuioCursor, removeTuioCursor, refresh) will fire whenever your sketch receives a TUIO message.
Keep in mind that TUIO is based on OSC which is transported over UDP. That means the tracker (reactivision & co) will have to send to the IP and port your sketch is listening to. If both are on the same machine use 127.0.0.1 and port 3333 (default).
Have a look at the examples. You'll find them in the processing "IDE" click:
"File -> Examples"
and Navigate to
"Contributed Libraries -> TUIO"
