WHAT is the error and which functions do we have to look at…?

(or from your other thread…?)

I receive multiple errors, one is that the function displayText() is unknown - do you have this function, maybe in another tab?

What is “`level`” supposed to do? This won’t work:

```auto
// ??? 
int level=1;
int level=2;

```

**Remarks**

- The brown rectangle is the roof? Why is it below? Sorry, I am not sure I understand.

- Remark: `rectMode(CENTER);` must be **before** `rect()` to have effect.
