The example sketch “Threaded PGraphics II” from [2nd link](https://discourse.processing.org/t/problems-when-trying-to-draw-to-a-p3d-pgraphics-when-called-from-a-thread/6301/4) is for when we need to use an OpenGL PGraphics in another Thread.

If you don’t need an OpenGL PGraphics, go w/ the example sketch “Linked Balls” from the 1st link:

Or go w/ “Threaded PGraphics” from this link:
