I think that’s similar but he has problems:

See [Load a different background sketch and automatically change each 30 seconds](https://discourse.processing.org/t/load-a-different-background-sketch-and-automatically-change-each-30-seconds/25101/5)

In general from draw() call new functions draw1, draw2 and draw3 depending on sketchNumber, a new variable you have to declare globally.

In draw1 / draw2/ draw3 copy your draw function from the old sketches

Increase sketchNumber when `frameCount%10*frameRate==0`
