when i play my game and eat a food and then move it sometimes removes my scale heres my source code

sketch source: (where my move runs)

```auto
var s;
var scl = 20;
var food = 20;
var foods = 0;
var foodU = foods;

function setup() {
  createCanvas(600,600)
  s = new snake();
  frameRate(10)
  PickLocation()
  console.log(foods)
}

function draw() {
  background(51);
  s.update()
  s.show()

  if(s.eat(food))
    PickLocation()

  fill(255, 0, 100);
  rect(food.x, food.y, scl, scl)
}

function PickLocation() {
  var cols = floor(width/scl);
  var rows = floor(height/scl);
  food = createVector(floor(random(cols)), floor(random(rows)));
  food.mult(scl);
}

function keyPressed() {
  if (keyCode === UP_ARROW) {
    s.dir(0, -1);
    s.yScale = s.xScale;
    s.xScale = 20;
} else if(keyCode === DOWN_ARROW) {
    s.dir(0, 1);
    s.yScale = s.xScale;
    s.xScale = 20;
} else if(keyCode === LEFT_ARROW) {
    s.dir(-1, 0);
    s.xScale = s.yScale;
    s.yScale = 20;
} else if(keyCode === RIGHT_ARROW) {
    s.dir(1, 0);
    s.xScale = s.yScale;
    s.yScale = 20;
}
}

my snake.js file
function snake() {
    this.x = 0;
    this.y = 0;
    this.xspeed = 1;
    this.yspeed = 0;
    this.yScale = 20;
    this.xScale = 20;

    this.update = function() {
      this.x = this.x + this.xspeed*scl
      this.y = this.y + this.yspeed*scl

      this.x = constrain(this.x, 0, width-scl);
      this.y = constrain(this.y, 0, height-scl);
    }

  this.eat = function(pos) {
    var d = dist(this.x, this.y, pos.x, pos.y);
    if (d < 1) {
      s.xScale = s.xScale + s.yScale

      foods = foods + 1;
      print(foods);
      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  }

  this.dir = function(x, y) {
      this.xspeed = x;
      this.yspeed = y;
}
  this.show = function() {
    fill(255)
    rect(this.x, this.y, this.xScale, this.yScale)
    }
}

Hey,

First of all, can you format your code using the `</>` button in the message editor and press `Ctrl+T` in the processing IDE ?

Thanks

Oh sorry, thought you were on processing (put your issue in the p5.js category).  
You need to format your code and respect indentations like this (when you write your message, there’s a `</>` button to write your code) :

```auto
function setup(){
    console.log("setup");
}

function draw(){
    console.log("draw");
}

```

Please format your code. Edit your post, select your code and hit the `</>` button. Simple.

Also, edit the title of your post to reflect the nature of your question.

Notice you can edit your post by clicking the little pen in the bottom edge of the post that you want to edit.
