Java Restart Button Not Working (Processing 3)

[DictatorPanda]

Good day/night! A few friends and I are making a game for class. Everything's done, but there's a strange bug happening with the Start button. When you hit 'Start' the first time, the game runs, you win or lose, and if you want to play again, you hit the restart button, and it'll send you back to the start screen. When you reach the start screen again and hit Start, it won't run the game. I thought it was a bounds issue with the button, but it wasn't the case when I debugged it. I believe it's a boolean issue so I tried setting many of them to false, but the issue's still happening. I spent hours trying to fix it and since I've been looking at this for a while, a set of fresh eyes could spot the issue quicker than I can!

Here is our code:

Would you mind using separate code blocks in your post or a reply to indicate some more specific areas of the code, such as where the GUI button functionality is being handled and what happens when a game starts and ends?

Sorry about that, I'll get to it! I thought Code Forum did that automatically when I told it to highlight the lines that took care of all the conditions and screens.

I can't really edit the original for some reason so I'll just post the code down here:
Here's the code for the three screens:


[CODE lang="java" title="Code for Start, Win, and Loss Screens"]public void StartScreen() {



background(TitleScreen);

image(StartB, 10, 420);

//ToStart = false;



//System.out.println("Start!");



if ((mouseX >= 10 && mouseY >= 419) && (mouseX <= 138 && mouseY <= 482)){

text("TEST", 10, 419);

text("TEST2", 138, 482);

mouseInStart = true;

}



}



public void LoseScreen() {

background(LossScreen);

image(RestartB, 180, 355);



if ((mouseX >= 176 && mouseY >= 352) && (mouseX <= 305 && mouseY <= 416)){

mouseInRestart = true;

}



}



public void WinScreen() {

background(WinScreen);

image(RestartB, 180, 400);



if ((mouseX >= 179 && mouseY >= 398) && (mouseX <= 305 && mouseY <= 460)){

mouseInRestart = true;

}



}



public void mouseClicked() {

if (mouseInStart) {

playGame = true;

System.out.println("In Start Clicked!");

}



if (mouseInRestart) {

ToStart = true;

System.out.println("Restart Clicked!");

}

}[/CODE]
//_______________________________________________________

[CODE lang="java" title="Condition Area"] if (FallingObject.objectsCaught >= 5 && (!timer.isFinished())){
WinScreen();


///*
if (ToStart) {
StartScreen();
mouseInRestart = false;

//System.out.println("Back to Start!");
}//*/

} else if (FallingObject.objectsCaught <= 5 && timer.isFinished()) {
LoseScreen();

//System.out.println("Back to Start!");
//playGame = false;
///*

//System.out.println("Back to Start!");
}
}[/CODE]


These segments handle the screens and game restarts. I posted the whole file just in case anyone needed context on what was happening. Sorry if there was any confusion!
