Is there a library or something that I can import for Processing which can show a GUI box which prompts the user to fill out information, for example age, gender etc?

If you want to show your GUI on top of your sketch maybe select ControlP5. It’s easy and commonly used. I developed a library called UiBooster, which creates dialogs in separate windows. It’s also very easy to use:

```auto
String opinion = new UiBooster().showTextInputDialog("What do you think?");

```

It’s up to you. Select want fit your needs.
