I'm working on a small sketch in processing where I am making a "clock" using the time functions and drawing ellipses across the canvas based on milliseconds, seconds and minutes. I'm using a for loop to draw all of the ellipses and each for loop is inside its own method. I'm calling each of these methods in the draw function. However for some reason only the first method that is called is being drawn, when ideally I would like to have them all being visibly rendered.

//setup program
void setup() {
  size(800, 600);
  frameRate(30);
  background(#eeeeee);
  smooth();
}

void draw(){
  milliParticles();
  secParticles();  
  minParticles();
}

//time based particles
void milliParticles(){
  for(int i = int(millis()); i >= 0; i++) {
      ellipse(random(800), random(600), 5, 5 );
      fill(255);    
  }
}

void secParticles() {
  for(int i = int(second()); i >= 0; i++) {
      fill(0);    
      ellipse(random(800), random(600), 10, 10 );
      background(#eeeeee);
  }
}

void minParticles(){
  for(int i = int(minute()); i >= 0; i++) {
      fill(50);
      ellipse(random(800), random(600), 20, 20 );
  }
}
