```auto
float x = 200;
float y = 200;
int[] pipeX, pipeY; //Declaring

void setup()
{
  size(800, 620);
  bg =loadImage("bg.jpg");
  top_pipes = loadImage("top.png");
  bottom_pipes = loadImage("bottom.png");
  pipeX = new int [4];
  pipeY = new int[pipeX.length];
  //Populate array with values
  for (int i = 0; i < pipeX.length; i++)
  {
   pipeX[i] = width + 200*i;
   pipeY[i] = (int) random (-350, 50); //float to int
  }
}

void draw()
{
 setBg();
 cleo();
  for (int i = 0; i < pipeX.length; i++)
  {
    image(top_pipes, pipeX[i], pipeY[i]);
    image(bottom_pipes, pipeX[i], pipeY[i] + 680);
    pipeX[i]--;
  }
}

There’s two ways of doing this, one is to use 2 more parameters in the image() function.

```auto
image(top_pipes, pipeX[i], pipeY[i], 100,100); // will make it 100 by 100 pixels

```

The other method is to use the resize function in setup.

```auto
top_pipes.resize(100,100);

```

They both do the same thing and as far as I can tell one has no advantage over the other, Hope that helps
