# Pong Game: Trying to make 4 different messages for when a different player wins: "You won", "bot won", "player 1 won" and "player 2 won". Could only make 2: "Player 1 won" and "Player 2 or Bot won"

Hello everyone!
Basically the question. I am making a Pong Game and it is actually finished, but I just want to make it more perfect. I am only lacking these particular messages for when a winner has to be announced. I could only make “Player 1 won” and “Player 2 or Bot won”. But I would actually like the _winnerAnnouncer()_ function to recognize which play mode was being played: if the _onePlayer()_ or the _twoPlayers()_.
So here is part of my code:
```auto
int gameState = 0; // 0: home menu, 1: one player, 2: two players, 3: instructions, 4: winnerAnnouncer
int player1Score = 0;
int player2Score = 0;
int winningScore = 3;
boolean gameStarted = false;
boolean showInstructions = false;
boolean isSinglePlayer = true;
Paddle player1, player2;
Ball ball;
void setup() {
size(600, 400);
rectMode(CENTER);
player1 = new Paddle(20, height/2);
player2 = new Paddle(width-20, height/2);
ball = new Ball();
}
void draw() {
background(0);
if (gameState == 0) {
homeMenu();
} else if (gameState == 1) {
onePlayer();
} else if (gameState == 2) {
twoPlayers();
} else if (gameState == 3) {
instructions();
} else if (gameState == 4) {
winnerAnnouncer();
}
}
void homeMenu() {
textAlign(CENTER);
textSize(64);
fill(255);
text("Pong", width/2, height/2-40);
textSize(32);
text("Press 1 for single player \n Press 2 for multiplayer \n Press 3 for instructions", width/2, height/2);
}
void onePlayer() {
if (!gameStarted) {
textAlign(CENTER);
textSize(48);
fill(255);
text("SINGLE PLAYER", width/2, height/2 - 20);
textSize(32);
text("Press any key to start.", width/2, height/2 + 20);
} else {
if (isSinglePlayer) {
player2.aiMove(ball);
}
updateGame();
}
}
void twoPlayers() {
if (!gameStarted) {
textAlign(CENTER);
textSize(48);
fill(255);
text("MULTIPLAYER", width/2, height/2 - 20);
textSize(32);
text("Press any key to start.", width/2, height/2 + 20);
} else {
updateGame();
}
}
void winnerAnnouncer() {
textAlign(CENTER);
fill(255);
textSize(48);
if (player1Score == winningScore) {
text("PLAYER 1 WON", width/2, height/2 - 20);
} else {
text("PLAYER 2 or BOT WON", width/2, height/2 - 20);
}
/*
if (isOnePlayerMode) {
if (player1Score == winningScore) {
text("YOU WON!", width/2, height/2 - 20);
} else if (player2Score == winningScore) {
text("BOT WON!", width/2, height/2 - 20);
}
} else {
if (player1Score == winningScore) {
text("PLAYER 1 WON!", width/2, height/2 - 20);
} else if (player2Score == winningScore) {
text("PLAYER 2 WON!", width/2, height/2 - 20);
}
}
*/
textSize(26);
text("Press any key to return to the HOME MENU.", width/2, height/2 + 20);
}
```
I only sent the relevant code functions, but tell me if it is necessary for me to send the whole thing, as I believe it is not runnable.
Thank you in advance!

I think in the menu you evaluate a keyPressed: because you say:
> [@sabisiiuuu](#):
>
> ```auto
> text("Press 1 for single player \n Press 2 for multiplayer \n Press 3 for instructions", width/2, height/2);
> }
>
> ```
- so in keyPressed set a variable numOfPlayers to 1 or 2 in keyPressed()
- before setup() say `int numOfPlayers = 1;`
- Now we have stored the number of players in a clean way.
**The next step**
The next step is to evaluate numOfPlayers:
Your code:

> void winnerAnnouncer() {
> textAlign(CENTER);
> fill(255);
> textSize(48);

> } else {
> text("PLAYER 2 or BOT WON", width/2, height/2 - 20);
> }
>
> ```
is to change
```auto
void winnerAnnouncer() {
textAlign(CENTER);
fill(255);
textSize(48);
if (numOfPlayers == 1) {
// numOfPlayers == 1 (human vs. bot)
if (player1Score == winningScore) {
text("YOU WON", width/2, height/2 - 20);
} else {
text("THE BOT WON", width/2, height/2 - 20);
}
}
//---------------------
else {
// numOfPlayers == 2
if (player1Score == winningScore) {
text("PLAYER 1 WON", width/2, height/2 - 20);
} else {
text("PLAYER 2 WON", width/2, height/2 - 20);
}//else
}//else
```
