I guess I could add a frame counter that I could frames++ every frame and reset to 0 every second. But how do I access the time in processing, or how else can I check if a second has passed ?

Time & Date day() hour() millis() minute() month() second() year() You should track the millis() (number of milliseconds since starting an applet) for your frame rate counter thingy... But normally I just do println(framerate) though. Its a float btw.
