Strange connections

This sketch emerged while I was experimenting how to connect the two players' mouses. I liked the drawings that come out.

// using mqtt protokoll via shiftr.io
// https://docs.shiftr.io/manuals/processing/


import mqtt.*;
MQTTClient client;


/// Connection to other player 

String mePlayer = "/playing-together/red/p2/xy";
String otherPlayer = "/playing-together/red/p1/xy";

/// variables for position of others players mouse
int otherMouseX = 0;
int otherMouseY = 0;
int otherPreviousMouseX = 0;  //to keep track of last mouse position for drawing line
int otherPreviousMouseY = 0;

//set fix color for players
int p1color, p2color;
// time variables for mqtt
long timeStamp; 
int delayTime = 1000/35;


void setup() {
client = new MQTTClient (this);
client.connect("mqtt://YOUR_SHIFTER_IO_Username:YOUR_SHIFTER_IO_Password@broker.shiftr.io", "YOUR_SHIFTER_IO_Username");
size(600,600);
background(255);
p1color = #AD2C2C;  // color for player 1
p2color = #230E9D; // color for player 2
}


// RECEIVE messages of other player///

void clientConnected(){
println("client connected");
client.subscribe(otherPlayer);
}

void messageReceived(String topic, byte [] payload){
    // the incoming MQTT "message" is a String: "xValue,yValue"
  // to unpack it we use the "split" function:
  String incomingPayload = new String(payload);
  String [] xy = split(incomingPayload, ',');
  if (int(xy[0])== 0 && int(xy[1])== 0){
      background(255);
  } else {
  println("new message: " + topic + " x: " + xy[0] + " y: " +xy[1]);
  otherMouseX = int(xy[0]);
  otherMouseY = int(xy[1]);
}}


//SEND my mouse x, y //

void mouseDragged(){
  //the MQTT connection will close if you send more than 25 operations per second!
  //so we implement a delay to SEND my coordinates only every xxx milliseconds:
  if(millis() - timeStamp > delayTime){
    timeStamp = millis();
    client.publish(mePlayer,mouseX + "," + mouseY);
  }
      strokeWeight(5); // set line thickness
    // set right color for player //
  if (mePlayer == "/playing-together/red/p1/xy"){
  stroke(p1color); 
  } else if (mePlayer == "/playing-together/red/p2/xy") {
    stroke(p2color); 
  } 
  line (pmouseX,pmouseY,mouseX, mouseY);
     //set right color for player //
    if (mePlayer == "/playing-together/red/p1/xy"){
  stroke(p2color); 
  } else if (mePlayer == "/playing-together/red/p2/xy") {
    stroke(p1color); 
  }
  line (otherMouseX, otherMouseY, mouseX, mouseY);
}

// DRAW 

void draw() {
    strokeWeight(5);  //line thickness
    // set right color for player //
  if (mePlayer == "/playing-together/red/p1/xy"){
  stroke(p2color); 
  } else if (mePlayer == "/playing-together/red/p2/xy") {
    stroke(p1color); 
  }  
  line(otherPreviousMouseX, otherPreviousMouseY, otherMouseX, otherMouseY);
  otherPreviousMouseX = otherMouseX;  //update previous to be current
  otherPreviousMouseY = otherMouseY;  //update previous to be current

     if (mePlayer == "/playing-together/red/p1/xy"){
      stroke(p1color); 
      } else if (mePlayer == "/playing-together/red/p2/xy") {
      stroke(p2color); 
      } 
  line (mouseX, mouseY, otherMouseX,otherMouseY);
  }


// reset canvas //

void keyPressed(){
  background(255);
  client.publish(mePlayer, 0 + "," + 0);
