Hello,
I would like in my game that every 15 seconds the speed of appearance of the edges increases by x time (example the first 15 seconds is 1 square every 1 second then the next 15 seconds will be 1 square every 0.7seconds … etc) except that when I had done it it had worked but in reverse.
```auto
int wait = 1000;
int lastTime = 0;
int score = 0;
int score2 = 0;
int bonus = 1;
int square_size = 50;
float square_x;
float square_y;
final int menu = 0;
final int jeux = 1;
int state = menu;

PImage img;
PFont police;
void setup() {
size(900,600); //feunetre 900x600

img=loadImage("Sans titre-67.jpg"); //quel image je dois charger (au prealable mis dans data)
}

This is your variable wait (see this line: `if (lastTime + wait < millis()) {`).
wait is 1000 (milliseconds, so 1 second)
you can reduce wait by 90 in `randomize_square_position() `

Yes I know but I would like the speed to change every 15 seconds. With what I have already I can just change the speed but it will always remain the same speed it will not increase progressively

Okay, make a timer for this and say wait -= 90;
You already have another timer so you should be able to do it on your own

To decrease the wait every 15 seconds you can just use
```auto
float wait = 1000 - millis()/15000*90; //gradual decrease (\)
float wait2 = 1000 - floor(millis()/15000)*90; //sharp decrease (`-_)
```

Thanks but it is marked every time: “unexpected token : float”
Its the : "int lastTime = 0 ; " which poses a problem?

I forgot to add a ;
I edited the code now (add a ; before the comment)

Thanks but I have to edit
```auto
if (lastTime + wait < millis()) { //si j'ai pas click au bout de X temps
randomize_square_position(); //alors nouveau carré
```
for this to work because I don’t see any difference with just the variables

yeah don’t worry, I was just providing an alternative. Feel free to use anything, it’s your code after all : P
