Processing Coding Questions

New to java scrip and need some help please :slight_smile:
Can someone tell me why my obstacles arent showing up when i live preview? I have used the console log to see if its registering the obstacles every 2 seconds (which it is) but its not displaying them for some reason?

var bird ={};
var obstacles = [];

function Obstacle(I){
I.active = true;
I.x = width;
I.width = 40;
I.slitheight = 150;
I.slit = random(0, height - I.slitheight);
I.xVelocity = -2;
I.draw = function(){
rect(I.x, 0, I.width, I.slit);
rect(I.x, I.slit + I.slitheight, I.width, height - I.slitheight - I.slit);
}
I.update = function(){
I.active = I.active && (I.x + I.width > 0);
I.x += I.xVelocity;
}
return I;
}

function keyPressed(){
if(keyCode ==32){
bird.yVelocity = 10;
}
}

function setup() {
// put setup code here
createCanvas (600, 400);
bird.x = 100;
bird.y = 200;
bird.width = 20;
bird.height = 20;
bird.yVelocity = 0;
bird.yAcceleration = -1.7;

bird.draw = function(){
    rect(bird.x, bird.y, bird.width, bird.height);
};

bird.update = function(){
    bird.yVelocity = bird.yVelocity + 0.6 * bird.yAcceleration;
    bird.y = constrain(bird.y - bird.yVelocity, 0, height - bird.height);
};

setInterval(function(){
    obstacles.push(Obstacle({}));
    console.log(obstacles.length);
},2000);

}

function draw(){
// put drawing code here
background(45);
bird.draw();
bird.update();

obstacles = obstacles.filter(function(obstacle){
    return obstacle.active;
});

obstacles.forEach(function(obstacle){
    obstacle.update;
    obstacle.draw;
    
})

}

you forgot the parenthesis on obstacles.forEach(function(obstacle){
obstacle.update;
obstacle.draw;

})

What IDE are you using to write your code? If you are using Processing in p5.js mode, you can press ctrl+t to nicely tabulate/indent your code before you paste it here. Then, you can format the code here in the forum by selecting it and hitting the </> button before finishing posting your question.
