I have the code up to that point. But now I need to turn it into a game.

How would I (or what functions/commands/structures/conditionals would I use) begin to turn it into a game?

I want something to come up onto the screen after all the images have loaded that tells the user to "pick an outfit for the beach", then the user must flip through and match up the outfit then click a button to verify that they are correct. If they are correct, it takes them to the next matching challenge, if not, it flashes "MISMATCH" (which is an image i have already loaded in) and they have to keep trying until they get it correct.

If anyone could help me get a head start I would be so grateful. i have been working on this damn code for two weeks now and im having such a hard time (im very new to processing)

THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE<3

I am taking my inspiration from the film Clueless, and turning her closet into an interactive game.

I want to have multiple outfit combinations that the user must flip through and pair up. I will give a situation, like "pick the perfect outfit for a day at the beach!" or "pick the perfect outfit for a day at the ski lodge!"

it's suposed to be an easy and simple game.

I already have bits of code to help me understand how i might be able to do this

1. // variables to keep track of which image you are showing:
2. int currentTop;
3. int currentBottom;
4. // the arrays of images for the tops and bottoms:
5. PImage[] tops = new PImage[15];
6. PImage[] bottoms = new PImage[18];
7. // how you'll actually draw the items of clothing:
8. image( tops[currentTop], 10,10 );
9. image( bottoms[currentBottom], 10,10 );
10. // a very rough start at how the user will flip through the items:
11. if ( keyPressed )
12. {
13.   currentTop = currentTop + 1;
14. }

my questions are:

how can i load the images into arrays like that?

how can i create a title screen before the box comes up?

how do i put a retro 90's bevel effect on shapes such as triangles and rectangles to make them appear like a button?

and generally

how do i really begin doing all of this? im so lost and all i have is the main screen down

thanks so much in advance!!!!
