Quite new to Processing and am trying to create a sort of create a character program where you chose options for them. I can get the options to cycle but am struggling to figure out the code to use so that if i press a key the option is selected.

Any help would be appreciated, I’ll post the code below

</div>

```auto
textAlign(CENTER,BOTTOM);
int time = frameCount;
time = frameCount%541;
boolean option1Chosen = false;

//Fur color

if(!keyPressed){
if(time<180){ 
text("Brown fur? Press any key to select.",width/2,height*8/10);
fill(90,70,10);}

else if(time>180 && time<360){
  text("Yellow fur? Press any key to select.",width/2,height*8/10);
  fill(255,255,0);}

else{
  text("Or Blue fur? Press any key to select.",width/2,height*8/10);
  fill(50,150,255);}
}

```

please post your code ( repair above )  
using the

```auto
</> code tag

```

looks like  
```  
type or paste code here  
```

using a if to select

- 0 … 180
- 180 … 360
- 360 …  
on a int should work, just to make sure pls print that variable time.

but from the posted code i can not see if that part is running inside draw?  
so make sure the posted code is run / test-able with copy / paste into  
processing IDE 3.5.3
