I have this JavaScript http://jsfiddle.net/ZDsMa/433/ to pick a random number. I put this on html div and I want to start scrambling the numbers with keypress instead of onClick, also to stop again with keypress:
var output, started, duration, desired;
// Constants
duration = 5000;
desired = '5';
// Initial setup
output = $('#output');
started = new Date().getTime();
// Animate!
animationTimer = setInterval(function() {
// If the value is what we want, stop animating
// or if the duration has been exceeded, stop animating
if (output.text().trim() === desired || new Date().getTime() - started > duration) {
clearInterval(animationTimer);
} else {
console.log('animating');
// Generate a random string to use for the next animation step
output.text(
''+
Math.floor(Math.random() * 10)+
Math.floor(Math.random() * 10)
);
}
}, 100);

You can wrap the animation in a function and then call it on keypress… something like this:
var output, started, duration, desired;
var sel = [];
// Constants
duration = 5000;
desired = '5';
// Initial setup
output = $('#output');
var keyPressed = false;
$(document).keypress(function(){
if (!keyPressed){
started = new Date().getTime();
scramble();
keyPressed = true;
}
else{
keyPressed = false;
}
});
// Animate!
var scramble = function(){
animationTimer = setInterval(function() {
// If the value is what we want, stop animating
// or if the duration has been exceeded, stop animating
if (output.text().trim() === desired || new Date().getTime() - started > duration || !keyPressed) {
while($.inArray(output.text().trim(),sel)>-1){
output.text(
''+
Math.floor(Math.random() * 10)+
Math.floor(Math.random() * 10)
);
}
clearInterval(animationTimer);
keyPressed = false;
sel.push(output.text());
$("#selected").text(sel);
} else {
// Generate a random string to use for the next animation step
output.text(
''+
Math.floor(Math.random() * 10)+
Math.floor(Math.random() * 10)
);
}
}, 100);
}#output {
margin: 20px;
padding: 20px;
background: gray;
border-radius: 10px;
font-size: 80px;
width: 80px;
color: white;
