I made a code for a magnifier glass in p5.js. It works but the editor shuts down after a short time. Can someone please look at it and see what is wrong? [The code in p5.js editor](https://editor.p5js.org/Lillbre/sketches/4qHM4igSf)

Thank you! Do you have an example how I could rewrite my code? I am not so good at this yet 😱

following @GoToLoop 's tip:
just move the line
```auto
magni = createGraphics(400, 400);
```
up to setup and it works

If I move magni = createGraphics(400, 400); to setup the magnifier circle draws a trail to the canvas when I move it.
