I’m making a game, which also includes a settings tab where the end-user can adjust settings to their preference, the problem is however that I have no idea how to make a slider without making use of a library, the slider I’ve made uses a lot of double code, which I’d like to avoid. I was thinking of making a for-loop but I have no idea where to start, I would love it if someone could help me out!

-a- if you have made already a functioning slider  
cut it out to a little ( running ) test project  
and post it here, possibly can work on it…

( please use the `</> code tag ` from editor menu to paste here )

-b- also for adjustments like that i did 2 very different approaches  
[Use Key and [+] [-] as color sliders?](https://discourse.processing.org/t/use-key-and-as-color-sliders/16397) ,  
key plus plus and mousewheel plus plus  
what are mostly 2 lines per ( invisible ) slider  
and could also be used while the game / not only from a setup page.

( i come up with that ideas while adjusting colors … for painter type sketches )

-c- but what’s your problem with professional slider like from G4P  
( besides i love you want to learn it )
