Hello @willdknyc,

Welcome to the forum.

Please read:  
_[Welcome to the Processing Foundation Discourse](https://discourse.processing.org/t/welcome-to-the-processing-foundation-discourse/8)_

There is a useful guide in there: [Guidelines - Asking Questions](https://discourse.processing.org/t/guidelines-asking-questions/2147/)

You should also share the version of _p5.js_ that you are using; I got different errors with the latest p5.js 2.x version.

Your code is not runnable as is and I had to simplify it to run _without an image._

Once simplified the canvas was blank (all one color) and this worked to get different colors (replaces image for testing):

```auto
      //let c = get(xPos, yPos);
      let c = color(random(255), random(255), random(255));

```

I had to correct an error with `keyPressed()` first (commented it out entirely for starters) and then I saw this with version _p5.js 1.11.13 (Default)_:

And code works with the Loop Protection **Off** :
