I have no idea what I’m doing…

So I’m trying to get some p5.js working in a droplet from digitalocean and guess what….I can’t get it to work. I know the p5.js sketch works, I can run it in the p5 web editor. I’m sure there’s something I’m doing wrong. To be quite honest, I don’t really understand how to structure the different blocks of code and what file they belong in. I’m also not sure what the best way to structure the file in my virtual private server. And can I name these files anything I want? Cause right now I feel like I have a number of files with the same name, I’m sure that could be causing issues. I’ll keep trying to work through it but for now here is the code, be fore warned there is a bunch…

Here is the error I get:
