The little rectangles are the windows of the houses, correct?

my version



String storey = "";
int[] tokens= {};

void setup() {
  size(1000, 1000);
  background (0);
}

void draw() {

  textSize(25);

  // Input rectangle 
  fill(255);
  rect (0, 0, 1000, 40);
  fill(0);
  text( storey + caret(), 0, 30);

  // help text 
  textSize(15);
  fill(255);
  text("Please enter your number from 1 to 10. Maximum input is 5.", 
    250, 60);
} //func 

void showSkyscaper() {

  //for (int i = 0; i<tokens.length; i++) 
  int i = tokens.length-1; 
  if (i<tokens.length&&tokens.length>0)
  {
    fill(211, 211, 211);
    rect(i * 200, height-tokens[i]*80, 
      200, tokens[i]*80);

    // windows: 
    for (int x1=0; x1 < 20-1; x1++) {
      for (int y1=0; y1 < tokens[i]*80; y1+=20) {
        // int a = (int) random(1);
        if (random(1) < 0.5 ) {
          fill(0, 0, 255);//blue
        } else {
          fill(255);
        }
        rect((i * 200)+(x1*10)+9, height -y1, 
          5, 15);

Would u mind explaining what is void showSkyscaper() ?
I have edited to this.

String storey = “”;
int[] tokens= {}; // split(storey, “,”);

void setup() {
size(1000, 1000);
background (0);
}

void draw() {
textSize(25);
String caret ="";
if (millis() % 1000<200) {
caret="|";
}
fill(255);
rect (0, 0, 1000, 40);
fill(0);
text( storey + caret, 0, 30);

textSize(15);
fill(255);
text(“Please enter your number from 1 to 10. Maximum input is 5.”, 250, 60);

for (int i = 0; i<tokens.length; i++) {
fill(211, 211, 211);
noStroke();
rect(i * 200, 1000-tokens[i]*80, 200, tokens[i]*80);

for (int y=0; y < 20-1; y++) {
  for (int z=0; z < tokens[i]*80; z+=30) {
    // int a = (int) random(1);
    if (random(2) < 0.5 ) {
      fill(0, 0, 255);//blue
    } 
    else {
      fill(255);
    }
    rect((i * 200)+(y*10)+9, height -z, 
      5, 10);
  }
}

}
}

void keyTyped() {
if (key == BACKSPACE) {
if (storey.length()>0) {
storey = storey.substring(0, storey.length()-1);
}
} else if (key == ENTER) {
// We submit when the user presses enter
tokens = (int[]) append (tokens, int(storey));
// reset
storey="";
} else if (key>=‘0’ && key <= ‘9’) {
storey += key;
}
else if (key==‘n’){ //night mode
background(0);
}
else if (key==‘d’){ // day mode
background(135,206,235);
}
else if (key==‘m’){ // moon
fill(230,230,250);
ellipse(200, 200, 100, 100);
}
else if (key==‘S’){ // Sun
fill(255,255,224);
noStroke();
ellipse(800, 200, 150, 150);
}
else if (key==‘s’){ // star
background(25,25,112);
for(int k=0;k<70;k++){
fill(0,10);
rect(0,0,width,height);
fill(255);
noStroke();
ellipse(random(width),random(height), 3, 3);
}
}
}

you really should learn how to post code.

showSkyscaper() is a new function that I defined. I call it when a new skyscraper is made (with Enter in keypressed). It shows the windows in one (the new) skyscraper.

What do you mean?

And I would be very happy if you teach me how.

Joseph explained it above
