Hello and welcome to the forum!

Great to have you here!

You can merge the two sketches when you use a “state” variable. This state tells you whether to show the menu or the game (or other screens, like a Splash Screen or a help screen. Even the Game with 2 players versus the Game against the computer can be seen as two different states.)

Warm regards,

Here is an Example for state, menu and game:


//

final int MENU=0;  // state and the values (constants) state can have; must be unique numbers
final int GAME=1;
int state = MENU; 

float x = 100;
float y = 50;
float w = 150;
float h = 80;

void setup() {
  size(500, 500);

  background(255);
  stroke(0);
  noFill();
}

void draw() {
  background(255);

  switch (state) {
  case MENU: 
    // step 1: draw the button rect with a fill color differently when mouse is upon it or not 
    fill(255);  // color when NOT over
    if (mouseOverButton1()) {
      fill(255, 255, 0);  // when over 
    }
    rect(x, y, w, h);  // rect 
    //------------------

    // step 2 : show text 
    fill(0);
    text ("CLICK", x+17, y+28);  // put something here like: 2 Players OR Player vs. AI
    break; 

  case GAME:
    fill(0);   // here goes your PONG Game !!!!!!!!!!!!!
    text ("IMPLEMENT Game here ", 
      117, y+128);
    break; 
    //
  }//switch 
  //
}//func

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------

void mousePressed() {
  // step 3: check mouse clicked // This is when mouse has been clicked 
  if (mousePressed) {
    if (mouseOverButton1()) {
      // println("The mouse is pressed and over the button");
      state = GAME;   
      fill(0);
      //do stuff
    }
  }
}

boolean mouseOverButton1() {  // This is for button number 1 
  return 
    mouseX>x && 
    mouseX <x+w &&
    mouseY>y && 
    mouseY <y+h;
}
//
