Below is code for creating a canvas of falling, bouncing particles (balls), when mouse is dragged over canvas. I have learned the following about collision

Below is code for creating a canvas of falling, bouncing particles (balls), when mouse is dragged over canvas.

I have learned the following about collision detection:

Point is inside circle: If distance between center of circle and point is less than radius of circle

if (dist (pointX, pointY, circleX, circleY)

Point is outside circle: if distance between center of circle and point is more than radius of circle

if (dist (pointX, pointY, circleX, circleY) > circleRad) { }

Question: My code is not outputting. Not sure what is wrong. Please assist - and be specific as to where code needs be adjusted as I am really beginner learner - thank you. I have posted this question now 4 times and keep getting explanation of code. I need assistance with debugging as my code is not outputting canvas with balls and square, it is outputting just black canvas. Here is snip of bug in console.

Use p5.js library, Javascript, in VS code with Brackets extension.

Below is what the code should be outputting. I however am getting only a blank canvas when running the code. Please confirm what you are getting once you've run my code and once you've run code with your adjusted code
