I guess you will need to put the code in the draw() function with second() included

Hello,

Please format your code:  
[https://discourse.processing.org/faq#format-your-code](https://discourse.processing.org/faq#format-your-code)

setup() only runs once:  
[https://processing.org/reference/setup\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/setup_.html)  
The reference above also has related items such as draw()

It does work if you put the code in draw() as @noel suggested.

You will have to put the correct code on draw().

Why is now the time not working?

```auto
int start = 0;
int sekunde;
int minute;
int stunde;
int tag;
int monat;
int yahr;

void update(){
  sekunde = second();
  minute = minute();
  stunde = hour();
  tag = day();
  monat = month();
  yahr = year();
}

void setup(){
  fullScreen();
  frameRate(90);
}
  
void draw(){
  if(start == 0){
    background(255);
    delay(2000);
    start = 1;
  if(start == 1){
    background(0);
    update();
    textSize(200);
    String s = String.valueOf(tag);
    fill(#FFFFFF);
    update();
    text(s, 750, 450);
    text(".", 850, 450);
    s = String.valueOf(monat);
    update();
    text(s, 900, 450);
    text(".", 1000, 450);
    s = String.valueOf(yahr);
    update();
    text(s, 1050, 450);
    textSize(75);
    s = String.valueOf(sekunde);
    update();
    text(":", 1157, 595);
    text(s, 1175, 600);
    s = String.valueOf(minute);
    update();
    text(s, 1075, 600);
    text(":", 1055, 595);
    s = String.valueOf(stunde);
    update();
    text(s, 975, 600);
    update();
    orientation(LANDSCAPE);
    }
  }
}

You have an _if_ statement inside of an _if_ so the condition of 1 is set but on next pass it only checks for a 0.

You should have 2 _if_ statements or an _if else_.
