how do i make a score that goes up by 1 every second? im making a pong gameyou have to keep the ball up

GoToLoop

Since by default draw() is invoked about 60 times per second:

https://processing.org/reference/frameRate_.html

Just check whether frameCount is divisible by 60:

If accuracy is a factor then you need to use one of the time methods, preferably millis(). using frameCount as a measure of time is prone to error.

GoToLoop

Indeed millis() is the most accurate and more advisable to most cases.
However, if the sketch happens to run slower than 60 FPS, millis()'s approach gonna increase the score more times than the amount of actual "action" transpired! >-)
