How to add objects to ArrayList one at a time at timed intervals

Hello,

I just spent a moment on your code…

This should give you some ideas:

  text(frameCount, 50,50);

  if(frameCount%60==0)
    {
    spikes.add(new Spikes(width/2,500,50));
    println(spikes.size());
    }
  
  if(spikes.size()>=10)
    {
    spikes.remove(0);
    println(spikes.size());
    }

You can look up the references to understand the code.
draw() \ Language (API) \ Processing 3+
frameRate() \ Language (API) \ Processing 3+
frameCount \ Language (API) \ Processing 3+

There are other timers that you can use if you desire. Search for these.

I often use frameCount() for quick code and examples where timing is not critical.
