int lastTimeCheck;

Hello @LeRonald,

Your code and timer work but need some tweaks!

setup() only runs once:
https://processing.org/reference/setup_.html

You can lookup the reference for draw()

Consider:

  • moving your pattern of squares to draw()
  • use color variables to assign color to each square
  • change the color variable along with your timer

There are lots of resources here to help you on your journey:

Nice pattern of squares!
