for your approach:

also check out the new approach (!) here: [Scenes in Processing - #12 by Chrisir](https://discourse.processing.org/t/scenes-in-processing/40386/12)

It uses an interface

```auto

interface StateInterface {

  // Let's abstract

  // Let's abstract display()
  void showState();
  void keyPressedState();
  void mousePressedState();
}
//

```

Therefore, you can have the states all using this interface

You can also make keyPressed part of the class
