Java Processing - Click Button for movement

Question

I wrote an entire program and got s button to appear. I want it to operate as an upButton. But i cant quite figure out exactly how do i link the button yo the movement of my player….
Someone please give my player life!!! i need my character to work from clicking the up button that i created. This is a phone game so there is no keyboard.

Answer 1

This sort of code shall work
xVel=0; yVel=0;
void draw(){
If pressed.up(){ yVel = -speed}
...
... all four buttons
...
Player.x += xVel
Player.y += yVel
Lerp(xvel and yvel)
Hope this helps
