Hi! I’m making a game where you have to find wolves in a pack of sheep. There are 5 wolves made with an array, and as the code is now, you advance to the next page when you click on one wolf. However, I want it to advance when you’ve clicked on all the wolves on screen.  
I tried doing it with a counter, but it’s not really working, and i can’t really think of any other way to do it… I would really appreciate some help 🙂

Here’s the code (with my try at making the counter)

```auto
PImage lobo;
PImage oveja;
PImage fondo;
PImage caja;
PImage gameover;

int GameOver=1; //cuándo termina la partida
int Restart=1; //tiene que empezar en 1 para que se inicie el juego
int Puntos=0;

//variables lobo
int nlobo=5;

int loboX[]=new int[nlobo];
int loboY[]=new int[nlobo];

//variables ovejas
//aumenta el valor de n para subir la dificultad
int n=30;
int ovejasX[]=new int[n];
int ovejasY[]=new int[n];

int ms=10; //milisegundos

//cambiar tiempo aquí
int s=90; //segundos

void setup(){
  size(800,800);

  //gráficos
  lobo = loadImage("lobo.png");
  oveja = loadImage("oveja.png");
  fondo = loadImage("fondo.png");  
  caja = loadImage("fondo2.png");
  gameover = loadImage("gameover.png");

  
  for(int contador=0;contador<n;contador++){
    ovejasX[contador]=int(random(0,677));
    ovejasY[contador]=int(random(100,654)); //el random es así para que no se salgan de la pantalla
}

for(int contadorL=0;contadorL<nlobo;contadorL++){
   loboX[contadorL]=int(random(0,677));
   loboY[contadorL]=int(random(100,677));
}

}
    

  
void draw(){
  
  //tiempo //lo pongo aquí porque se solapaban los números
  
  image(caja, 0, 0);
  textAlign(CENTER);
  textSize(30);
  text(s,630,50);

   if(ms<=100 && ms>0){
    ms=ms-1;
   }
   
   if(ms==0){

     s=s-1;
     ms=100;
     
     if(s<=0){
    
      noLoop();
      fill(255,0,0);
      GameOver=0;
    
      //desaparecen las ovejas y se revela la posición del lobo
      background(255,255,255);
    
      textAlign(CENTER);
      textSize(100);
      image(gameover, 0, 0);
      textSize(30);
      text("¡Se acabó el tiempo!",400,500);
      text("Lobos cazados: " + (Puntos),400,550);
      }
   }  

  
  
  //juego
  
  if((GameOver==1) && (Restart==1)){
    DibujarFormas();
  }
}
  
  
void DibujarFormas(){
  
  image(fondo, 0, 0);
  
  //caja de texto
  fill(0,0,0);
  rect(0,0,800,70);
  
 //objeto principal (lobo). Lo pongo delante para que los las ovejas lo pisen. Porque se está escondiendo
  
  for(int contadorL=0;contadorL<nlobo;contadorL++){
   image(lobo, loboX[contadorL], loboY[contadorL]);
  
 //ovejas
 fill(255,255,255);
  for(int contador=0;contador<n;contador++){
   image(oveja, ovejasX[contador], ovejasY[contador]);

}
}

//para que salga la mano sobre el lobo
void mouseMoved(){
  
cursor(ARROW); // !!!!!!!!!!!

  for (int contadorL=0; contadorL<nlobo; contadorL++) {
    
    if ((mouseX > loboX[contadorL]) &&

      cursor(HAND);
    }

         }
           
        
        Puntos++;
        counter++;
        loboscazados++;
        
      }
    }

    if (counter==0)
    {
      //si haces click en cualquier otro sitio, y la partida está iniciada, game over

      fill(255, 0, 0);
      GameOver=0;

      //desaparecen las ovejas y se revela la posición del lobo

I this your counter?

Then this line belongs before setup()

Same goes for counter: move the line before setup ()

Do not copy the line but move the line

Since it’s a counter I suggest to say 5 here !!!

When you start with 0 and use ++ you end with 5, not with 0
