There are only three spots in the code that need to be updated. Change "BImage" to "PImage" in the two spots that it occurs, and change "framerate(40)" to "frameRate(40)"

That fixes the version incompatibilities.

The line which reads "activeContent = allContent[Integer.parseInt(getParameter("hero"))];" doesn't work for me, which I take to mean that this script is intended to work in a mode where it's being run with explicit command line parameters (e.g. "-hero=3" or whatever), rather than in the Processing IDE.

Hopefully that can get you started, anyway. I rejiggered the script to work around the parameter thing, but while it runs without errors, it doesn't seem to _do_ anything. So I dunno.

Additional fix: I recalled having seen that loop() is the old name for draw(). Also I had to use P3D renderer (Processing emitting a warning otherwise).

I replaced Color by color and so constructor becomes: new Content(#FFFFFF, "cpt_america.jpg", 25, false); and such. So I can do just: background(bg); Not necessary but more idiomatic to modern Processing.

That's most of the changes I had to do to make it work.
Note that getParameter() is for getting an applet parameter, that's just the default hero choice.
