hey folks, im not really any sort of coder myself, i wont pretend to be, (although im in the early stages of learning js) rather im following a tutorial called adalight, making a backlit monitor that tracks colors on the screen and lights them to that color based on one of the 25 points on the screen that match led location
anyways, i wanted to just make this a simple program that i could possibly run on startup without much fuss, rather than having to manually start it through the IDE every time i boot, i exported it as an exe and didnt run into any issues, but when i actually run the program nothing seems to happen. if anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated
code below

// for desktop computers and home theater PCs. This is the host PC-side code
// written in Processing, intended for use with a USB-connected Arduino
// microcontroller running the accompanying LED streaming code. Requires one
// or more strands of Digital RGB LED Pixels (Adafruit product ID #322,
// specifically the newer WS2801-based type, strand of 25) and a 5 Volt power
// supply (such as Adafruit #276). You may need to adapt the code and the
// hardware arrangement for your specific display configuration.

// PER-DISPLAY INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------------
// This array contains details for each display that the software will
// process. If you have screen(s) attached that are not among those being
// "Adalighted," they should not be in this list. Each triplet in this
// array represents one display. The first number is the system screen
// number...typically the "primary" display on most systems is identified
// as screen #1, but since arrays are indexed from zero, use 0 to indicate
// the first screen, 1 to indicate the second screen, and so forth. This
// is the ONLY place system screen numbers are used...ANY subsequent
// references to displays are an index into this list, NOT necessarily the
// same as the system screen number. For example, if you have a three-
// screen setup and are illuminating only the third display, use '2' for
// the screen number here...and then, in subsequent section, '0' will be
// used to refer to the first/only display in this list.
// The second and third numbers of each triplet represent the width and
// height of a grid of LED pixels attached to the perimeter of this display.
// For example, '9,6' = 9 LEDs across, 6 LEDs down.
static final int displays[][] = new int[][] {
{0,9,6} // Screen 0, 9 LEDs across, 6 LEDs down
//,{1,9,6} // Screen 1, also 9 LEDs across and 6 LEDs down
};
// PER-LED INFORMATION -------------------------------------------------------
// This array contains the 2D coordinates corresponding to each pixel in the
// LED strand, in the order that they're connected (i.e. the first element
// here belongs to the first LED in the strand, second element is the second
// LED, and so forth). Each triplet in this array consists of a display
// number (an index into the display array above, NOT necessarily the same as
// the system screen number) and an X and Y coordinate specified in the grid
// units given for that display. {0,0,0} is the top-left corner of the first
// display in the array.
// For our example purposes, the coordinate list below forms a ring around
// the perimeter of a single screen, with a one pixel gap at the bottom to
// accommodate a monitor stand. Modify this to match your own setup:
static final int leds[][] = new int[][] {
{0,3,5}, {0,2,5}, {0,1,5}, {0,0,5}, // Bottom edge, left half
{0,0,4}, {0,0,3}, {0,0,2}, {0,0,1}, // Left edge
{0,0,0}, {0,1,0}, {0,2,0}, {0,3,0}, {0,4,0}, // Top edge
{0,5,0}, {0,6,0}, {0,7,0}, {0,8,0}, // More top edge
{0,8,1}, {0,8,2}, {0,8,3}, {0,8,4}, // Right edge
{0,8,5}, {0,7,5}, {0,6,5}, {0,5,5} // Bottom edge, right half
/* Hypothetical second display has the same arrangement as the first.
But you might not want both displays completely ringed with LEDs;
the screens might be positioned where they share an edge in common.
,{1,3,5}, {1,2,5}, {1,1,5}, {1,0,5}, // Bottom edge, left half
