When directly referenced in JavaScript files in a manner similar to a function call, it won't be correctly processed to replace the directive with the path to the asset.\n\nFor dynamic content loading in JavaScript, such as loading images with p5.js, you typically provide a direct path to the asset as a string. However, in the context of your project setup where you're instructed to use `@asset('ufo')` to load an image, it's crucial to ensure the environment or framework you're working within supports resolving this directive in JavaScript files.\n\nHere's an approach to clarify the intent and ensure you're using the correct path:\n\n1. Double-check the project setup instructions or documentation to understand how `@asset` is supposed to work with JavaScript files. There might be a build tool or a development server that processes these directives.\n\n2. If the environment indeed supports `@asset` in JavaScript and it's not working, there might be an issue with the project configuration or a bug in the tooling.\n\n3. As a workaround or for testing purposes, try temporarily using a direct path to the asset if you have one (e.g., '/path/to/ufo.png') in place of `@asset('ufo')`.\n\nSince we can't directly change the project setup or how `@asset` is processed, I recommend reviewing the project's documentation or reaching out to a project administrator or support forum for specific guidance on using `@asset` within JavaScript files.\n\nFor now, let's assume the UFO image is correctly loaded (even though it might not be displayed due to the issues mentioned), and ensure the rest of your code is set up to display the image when it's available. If the `ufo` variable is not being populated due to the `@asset` issue, the following debugging steps won't directly solve the visibility problem but can help confirm the rest of your code is prepared for when the asset loading issue is resolved.\n\nSince you mentioned not seeing any console logs, which should appear given your current `preload`, `setup`, and `draw` functions, it suggests that the script may not be running as expected. Please ensure:\n\n- Your browser's console is open and set to show all messages (including logs, warnings, and errors).\n- There are no errors in the console preventing the script from running.\n- The `` tag in your HTML file correctly points to your JavaScript file.\n\nIf the environment or framework you're using requires a specific setup to enable console logging or asset loading, that setup might need to be reviewed.","project_id":890,"created_at":"2024-03-22T04:07:28.157838Z","output_tokens":null,"sender":"ai","code_id":55036,"deleted":0,"input_tokens":null,"id":30447}],"assets":[{"project_id":890,"creator":null,"cloudinary_id":"mdcdc9su7o1lq1obar0c","deleted":false,"id":2097,"created_at":"2024-03-22T04:04:23.238614Z","name":"ufo","resource_type":"image","tags":null}],"messages_sent":8,"comments":[],"steps":[{"title":"Starry Hyperdrive Effect","instruction":"Create a visually stunning hyperdrive effect with stars zooming towards the viewer","created_at":"2024-03-22T04:02:07.849424","project_id":890,"complete":false,"step_number":0,"updated_at":"2024-03-22T04:02:07.849426","id":4623},{"title":"Interactive Controls","instruction":"Add interactive controls for the user to adjust the speed and direction of the hyperdrive effect","created_at":"2024-03-22T04:02:07.849492","project_id":890,"complete":false,"step_number":1,"updated_at":"2024-03-22T04:02:07.849493","id":4624},{"title":"Dynamic Star Patterns","instruction":"Implement dynamic patterns of stars to enhance the immersive experience","created_at":"2024-03-22T04:02:07.849545","project_id":890,"complete":false,"step_number":2,"updated_at":"2024-03-22T04:02:07.849546","id":4625}]}
