Change object color by mouse click in Processing

I am working on a school project in Processing (Java Mode). The task is to change the color of the Ball object if it is clicked.
Unfortunately I am stuck on changing just one object. If I click on the screen all objects change color.
Here are my classes:
Ball[] barray= new Ball[20];
void setup(){
size(400,400);
for (int i=0; i<20; i++){
barray[i] = new Ball();
}
strokeWeight(40);
}
void draw(){
background(255,255,255);
for (int i=0; i<barray.length; i++){
barray[i].paint();
}
for (int i=0; i<barray.length; i++){
barray[i].move();
}
if (mousePressed) {
for (int i = 0; i < barray.length; i++) {
barray[i].testHint();
}
}
}
Ball class:
public class Ball {
int x, diffx;
int y, diffy;
public Ball() {
x= (int) random(1, width);
diffx= (int) random(1, 5);
y= (int) random(1, height);
diffy= (int) random(1, 5);
}
public void move(){
x += diffx;
if (x<0 || x> width){
diffx *= -1;
}
y += diffy;
if (y<0 || y> height){
diffy *= -1;
}
}
public void paint(){
point(x,y);
}
public void testHint() {
float d = dist(mouseX,mouseY,this.x,this.y);
if ( d < 5){
stroke(255,0,0);
point(this.x,this.y);
}
}
}
Thank you for your help.

So here is working example (http://hello.processing.org/display/##-MDZNtlpRsdS_3GSlvvg):
public class Ball {
int x, diffx;
int y, diffy;
bool active;
public Ball() {
active = false;
x= (int) random(1, width);
diffx= (int) random(1, 5);
y= (int) random(1, height);
diffy= (int) random(1, 5);
}
public void move(){
x += diffx;
if (x<0 || x> width){
diffx *= -1;
}
y += diffy;
if (y<0 || y> height){
diffy *= -1;
}
}
public void paint(){
if(active) {
stroke(255,0,0);
}
point(x,y);
stroke(0,0,0);
}
public void testHint() {
float d = dist(mouseX,mouseY,this.x,this.y);
if ( d < 5 ) {
active = true;
}
}
}
Ball[] barray= new Ball[20];
void setup(){
size(400,400);
for (int i=0; i<20; i++){
barray[i] = new Ball();
}
strokeWeight(40);
}
void draw(){
background(255,255,255);
for (int i=0; i<barray.length; i++){
barray[i].paint();
}
for (int i=0; i<barray.length; i++){
barray[i].move();
}
if (mousePressed) {
for (int i = 0; i < barray.length; i++) {
barray[i].testHint();
}
}
}
The color you are giving in the stroke function will be active for all paints after that so that's why you have to reset it back to black after the point() call. And thus having active flag for all your balls to change the color before drawing it.

Processing: Where would I initialize a counter if it is changed in draw?

Im making a pool game in processing and I'm almost done but I'm stuck here. I want to add a counter that counts when a ball has been in the corner, then once the counter equals ten, the number of balls, it will display the winning message. I think something is going wrong in that the counter is being reset each time since it's in draw? But I'm not sure where else to initialize it. Btw, right now I just have it >= 3 so that I can quickly see if it's working. Thanks all

due to my low reputation, I have to show you my solution even though I think I haven't fixed all the bugs in your code.
I think your bug stated in the question has little relationship with the counter variable. I ran your code and found that you tried to hide the "disappeared" ball by changing coordinates. It means that "disappeared" balls can still be qualified to the if statement below, and as the result, value of counter will keep increasing.
//Balls"disappearing" in corners
if(balls[i].x<50 && (balls[i].y<50 || balls[i].y>550) || balls[i].x>950 &&(balls[i].y<50 || balls[i].y>550))
So you can add a boolean field to the Ball class
class Ball{
float x,y,vx,vy,radius,diameter;
int type;
Table table;
color ballColor;
// add this variable.
boolean disappeared = false;
// your constructor, wallBounce(), push(), collisionDetect()
void visualize(){
// only draw the ball when it hasn't disappeared.
if(!this.disappeared) {
fill(ballColor);
stroke(0);
strokeWeight(2);
stroke(0);
ellipse(x,y,diameter,diameter);
}
}
}
and then use it to avoid double counting.
// other code in visualize()
if(!balls[i].disappeared) {
counter++;
balls[i].disappeared = true;
}
// other code

using fft in processing

I was wondering if someone could help me. I am currently working on a project using processing to use FFT for an aesthetics project. What I wanna do is allow the user to import a song, and have the fft act as a visualizer to react and display different colors based on the song. The problem I am having is I can not get the fft itself to work. How can I get processing to recognize the fft?
Here is the fft code I'm using.
fft = new FFT(song.bufferSize(), song.sampleRate());
//DRAW FFT
fft.forward(song.mix);
colorMode(HSB, 255);
void wavewave() {
float spread = map(450, 0, width, 1, 21.5);
float x = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < song.sampleRate() && x < width; i += spread)
{
x = i/spread;
stroke(map(fft.getFreq(i), 0, 256, 0, 360) * 2, //Hue
255, //Saturation
255); //Brightness
line(x, 512, x, 512 - fft.getFreq(i) * 4);
}
//map(value, minimum1, maximum1, minimum2, maximum2);
x = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < song.sampleRate() && x < width; i += spread)
{
x = i/spread;
stroke(map(fft.getFreq(i), 0, 256, 0, 360) * 2, //Hue
255, //Saturation
255); //Brightness
line(x, 512, x, 512 + fft.getFreq(i) * 4);
}
}
I keep getting unidentified token fft, as the error

You should try the PDE X mode, might help you with errors in the future, plus it's awesome!

Restarting millis in processing error

Having a massive problem with this piece of code. I'm working with Java in processing.
I've created a game where users must guide a character away from objects.
All the objects, health system and score system are based on mills().
Once the game ends we need to reset millis(), resetting the objects, score and health system.
I have searched implemented advice from friends and previously asked questions on here but the advice differs very slightly. I'm assuming it's something that I can't see.
I would really appreciate your help with this, I only ever use this site as a last resort not just when I'm feeling lazy.

Your question is not at all clear, but it sounds like you should be able to wrap System.currentTimeMillis() in an object that maintains a starting point and returns the offset. Something like
public class Millis
{
long start;
public Millis() { this.reset(); }
public void reset() { this.start = System.currentTimeMillis(); }
public long getMillis() { return System.currentTimeMillis() - start; }
}
You create an instance of this class at startup
Millis timer = new Millis();
then call reset() to set it back to zero at the beginning of each game. Everywhere in your code you currently have millis() you would have timer.getMillis()

Use a custom timer class
class Timer {
int savedTime; // When Timer started
int totalTime; // How long Timer should last
Timer(int tempTotalTime) {
totalTime = tempTotalTime;
}
// Starting the timer
void start() {
// When the timer starts it stores the current time in milliseconds.
savedTime = millis();
}
// The function isFinished() returns true if 5,000 ms have passed.
// The work of the timer is farmed out to this method.
boolean isFinished() {
// Check how much time has passed
int passedTime = millis()- savedTime;
if (passedTime > totalTime) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}//end class
Then to call
firstTimer = new Timer(50000);
And then in the draw to check
if (firstTimer.isFinished()) {
//do sopemthing
//then restart timer
firstTimer.start();
}
else
{
// do soemthing else for the rest of the time....
}
