I wanted to start to use openprocessing to publish my sketches but it seems the transfer from PDE doesn’t work 1:1.  
Sketch:  
https://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/1018718/embed/?

I get the error message that createShape is not defined. However it is (Line 203). I thought I would have to move it to setup but that didn’t change anything.  
There is also no error showing in the code itself.

Any idea, how I can find out what the issue is?

Unfortunately Pjs doesn’t have **createShape()**: 😢

Most we can do is loading an “.svg” shape via **loadShape()**: 😳

Thank you. I was not even aware that openprocessing is using Processing.js  
At least it is not too hard to change.

There goes my highscore table as well…
