Let's ensure that your `script.js` file is correctly set up to use p5.js functions for drawing on the canvas. \n\nGiven the current code and structure, here's a quick checklist to troubleshoot why the yellow square might not be visible:\n\n1. **Ensure p5.js Library is Loaded**: Verify that the p5.js library is correctly loaded in your HTML file. The script tag with the src attribute pointing to the p5.js CDN should appear before your `script.js` file. This is correct in your provided HTML.\n\n2. **Canvas Rendering Context**: Since p5.js automatically handles the canvas context, ensure that your `script.js` does not attempt to manually manipulate the canvas context outside of p5.js functions.\n\n3. **Correct Script Execution**: Ensure that the `script.js` file is being correctly loaded and executed. Check the browser's console for any errors.\n\n4. **Browser Compatibility**: Ensure you are using a modern, up-to-date browser that supports HTML5 and the Canvas API.\n\n5. **Correct p5.js Syntax**: The provided `setup` and `draw` functions use correct p5.js syntax for creating and drawing on the canvas.\n\n6. **Visibility**: Check if the canvas or the yellow square is being covered by another element or if CSS styles are interfering with visibility.\n\nGiven all the above are correct and assuming there's no visible error in the console, the issue might be related to how the canvas integrates with your specific environment or an oversight that's not evident in the shared code. \n\nIf the square is still not visible after these checks, you might want to try the following steps to further diagnose the issue:\n\n- **Hard Refresh Your Browser**: Sometimes, browsers cache JavaScript files. A hard refresh can ensure the latest version of your script is being loaded. \n- **Console Logs**: Add `console.log('Draw function called');` inside your `draw` function to ensure it's being called.\n- **Check Canvas Size**: Ensure `windowWidth` and `windowHeight` are returning expected values by logging them.\n- **Inspect Element**: Use the browser's developer tools to inspect the `
