So I am making a prototype for my game to try and demonstrate what I am trying to do.

In the editor, you can see only one circle moves but I want all the circles to move. This is probably the wrong way to do things but its the way I came up with, so can someone help me out.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum! 😉

> Pro tip : in the p5 web editor you can auto format your code by going into Edit → Tidy Code

Your code doesn’t work because when you are calling in the `draw()` function :

```auto
for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
  bubbles[i].move();
  bubbles[i].show();
}

```

Then as soon as the `round` variable has the value `100`, you start checking the `bubbles[0]` object in the array and it’s calling its `move()` method :

```auto
move() {
  if (round == 100) {
    this.x = random(24, 376);
    this.y = random(24, 376);
    round = 0;
  }
}

```

But here the condition is true and the `round` variable gets reset to `0` so when you are trying to move the next circle it’s no more `100` and it only moves the first circle!!

What you can use is the [`frameCount`](https://p5js.org/reference/#/p5/frameCount) variable that is counting the number of frames since the beginning of the sketch and it’s exactly what you are doing! 😋
