Please format your code with the `</>` sign.  
You can edit your post by clicking the little pen on the bottom right corner of your post.

Concerning your problem, on this line: `if (gameIntro == 0)` you are trying to compare an integer value with a string variable. You can’t do that . You first need to convert your string into an integer.

Edit:  
You can actually check out this subject on how to convert a string into an integer: [Covert String to Integer](https://discourse.processing.org/t/covert-string-to-integer/2430/5)
