Hi, I very new to processing and I have to do a project for my university.  
I can’t figure out how to build multiple buttons that each have a different function. The whole thing should be a quiz when it is ready. Total of 6 pages, start page with a how to, play and imprint button and the rest for the questions.  
Any help on how to set up the buttons would be great!

you need to detect when a button from the [mouse](https://processing.org/reference/mouseClicked_.html) is pressed, if it was clicked on certain [x](https://processing.org/reference/mouseX.html) and [y](https://processing.org/reference/mouseY.html) position, then you execute one function or another. remember to constraint the position, example:

```auto
if(mouseClicked())
{
  if(mouseX >= 10 && mouseX <= 90)
  {
    FunctionA();
  }
}

```

the code above will execute the FunctionA() only if the mouse was clicked between the x positions of 10 and 90, you can extrapolate this to constraint the coordinates of the y axis
