Move rect's across the screen - stacker game.

So I can move the blocks by adjusting the values in the array (which will help later) but I am having trouble with the time interval. How can I get it to move every .5s (for example) without affecting (or stopping) the rest of the program?

The space is 7x15 (with a space at the bottom) and the rects are multiplied my 1-7 depending on which column and 1-15 depending on the row.

This is the relevant function but let me know if I should include the rest of the code. It is just the background and a button that is yet to be given the 'stop' part.
3. void moveLights()
4. {
5. int rowNum[] = {2,3,4};
6. //These will show rects 2,3 and 4. Adjust for desired column number.
7. for (int lights = 0;lights<=rowNum.length-1;lights++)
8. {
10. rect(rowNum[lights]*(width/7)-(width/14),(15*(height-50)/15)-((height-50)/30),width/7,(height-50)/15);
11. //First val (^) rowNum is column number '15' (^) represents row num - 15 is the bottom row
12. }
13. }

Thoughts on my calendar application?

So, obviously it needs a lot of work for it to be a fully functioning calendar app, but what are your initial thoughts? I just made this for fun, I guess its my first real application. To add an event just add a line in the setEvent() function at the top as I haven't added the 'add event' portion to the gui yet. You will probably have to add a new event as we are most likely in different time zones. I know there are a lot but if you spot an error just let me know :D.
Anyway, here it is.

Can someone see what I'm doing wrong/not seeing here?? Because I cant!!!!

OK so let me explain what it is first. This is just one line that determines the y position of a rect. So it is getting a time value from the timeArray in the form: 15.45, it then determines how long between that time and the current time. It is then scaled so that for every hour there is 100px. So, for example if there is a 2 hour difference the value should be 200.
In the comment it is broken down and explained, what am i doing wrong? I println'd the value and it is giving me -1100 haha. What am i doing wrong?
3. float x = ((((int(endTimeArray[eventNumberInArray])+(((endTimeArray[eventNumberInArray]-int(endTimeArray[eventNumberInArray]))*pow(10,2))/60))-(hour()+(minute()/60)))*60)/60)*100);
4. /*
5. a = endTimeArray[eventNumberInArray]-int(endTimeArray[eventNumberInArray])
6. Takes the time from the array (e.g. 12.15) and minuses the integer of it so: 12.15-12 and were left with 0.15.
7. b = a *pow(10,2)
8. Now we make .15 into the minutes by multiplying by 100: 0.15*100 = 15.
9. c = b/60
10. Divide by 60 so that we make it into a real decimal rather than the amount of minutes so: 15/60 = 0.25 hours.
11. f = int(endTimeArray[eventNumberInArray])+c
12. This makes it into the amount of hours so it is now 12.25 hours.
14. d = minute()/60
15. to make the minutes into a decimal. For example 30 --> .5
16. e = hour()+d
17. Now hour is added to the decimal of a minute so for example: 11.5 hours.
19. g = f-e
20. Using previous examples: 12.25-11.5 = 0.75. Its a 0.75 Hour difference
21. h = e*60
22. Multiply 0.75*60 so that it goes back into minutes. 0.75*60 = 45
23. i = h*100/60
24. Now it is scaled so that every hour is equal to 100. 45*100/60 = 75.
26. */
If I haven't explained something please let me know and I will explain it better.

Resize window mid sketch?

I have looked around but I havent found anything that works.
For example I made Pong (the game), and at the menu screen they can choose single player or multiplayer and they both have different sketch sizes.

frame.setsize(200,200) - makes the window glitch between sizes.

resize(200,200) - makes the smaller window inside the original.

WTF!!!

I honestly cant figure out what I've done wrong. I want it to present the question, wait, say the answer, then wait and start all over again.
2. int time = 0;
3. void setup()
4. {
5. size(800,300);
6. frameRate(5);
7. background(0);
8. }
9. void draw()
10. {
11. multiplication(12,30,500);
12. }
13. void multiplication(int firstnum,int secondnum,int wait)
14. {
15. //clear the background
16. background(0);
17. //Config
18. textAlign(CENTER,CENTER);
19. textSize(150);
20. fill(255);
21. rectMode(CENTER);
22. //Setup numbers to multiply
23. float x = random(firstnum,secondnum);
24. float y = random(firstnum,secondnum);
25. //Present Question
26. text(int(x)+" x "+int(y),width/2,height/4);
27. time = time+wait;
28. while(millis()<time){}
29. //Clear the background
30. background(0);
31. //Show answer
32. text(int(x)*int(y),width/2,height/2);
33. time=time+wait;
34. while(millis()<time){}
35. }
For some reason it just prints the answer. I would really appreciate some help.

Thanks.
