Hello and welcome to the forum!

you can make an array for the lines of code and a button.

for random see here: [https://www.processing.org/reference/random\_.html](https://www.processing.org/reference/random_.html)

for button see here: [https://www.processing.org/examples/button.html](https://www.processing.org/examples/button.html)

for lines of code see [https://www.processing.org/tutorials/arrays/](https://www.processing.org/tutorials/arrays/)

Warm regards,

Chrisir
