Here’s an example which displays a blue **background()** for 5 seconds, followed by a red **background()** for 2 seconds, relying on a class library I coded called “Countdown.java”: 🕶

```java
/**

 */

import gotoloop.countdown.Countdown;

final Countdown countdown = new Countdown();
boolean paused = true;

void draw() {
  managePause();
  background(paused? #FF0000 : #0000FF);
}

void managePause() {
  if (countdown.done) {
    countdown.delay = (paused ^= true)? 2000 : 5000;
    countdown.start();
    println("Paused:", paused, "\tAwaiting", 
      countdown.delay/1000, "seconds...");
  }
}
