Hi, I want to make my code when mouse is clicked it can open 2nd sketch.  
right now it only appears when I click and released my mouse. ( i know it is because it is in void draw)  
I want it to be hold the 2nd sketch and have interaction there too.

is there a possible way?

Hi @nothingnew,

Can we see your code?

  translate(mouseX, mouseY);

  rotate(frameCount * .04);

  for (int i = 0; i < numRings; i++) {
    translate(0, 0, i+30);
    wordRing(radius, angle);
  }
}
 
void wordRing (float thisRadius, float thisAngle) {

  for (int i=0; i< t.length(); i++) {
    x = cos(thisAngle * i) * thisRadius;
    y = sin(thisAngle * i) * thisRadius;

    pushMatrix();
    translate(x, y);
    rotateX(-HALF_PI);
    rotateY(-thisAngle*i + HALF_PI);
    text(t.charAt((t.length()-1) - i), 0, 0);
    popMatrix();
  }
}

```

sorry, it is quite messy…

You can create a new sketch if you check this example: [https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/comment/72574/#Comment\_72574](https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/comment/72574/#Comment_72574)

But maybe you meant to say you want to work with multiple states in the same sketch?: [https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/24867/make-the-typing-appear-after-the-mouse-click-and-stay-on-the-screen#latest](https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/24867/make-the-typing-appear-after-the-mouse-click-and-stay-on-the-screen#latest)
