Logically, whats going on in this code, and what are the biggest errors/bad habits in the full code posted?

Question

function loop() {
draw();
update();
raf = requestAnimationFrame(draw);
}
Ive defined the draw & update functions but Im trying to figure out what this does. im assuming that the arg in the [raf] fn is a callback right? So when the code gets to the raf(draw) it will loop back to the draw() func right?
What if i were to change elements outside of this main block would the script revert back once it loops?
And one more: Should I be nesting the functions or keeping separate?
Ill attach the code Im working on too, so If anyone wants to give me notes id be more than appreciated!

Answer 1

pHANTOM|sTEELE Did you create this or just copied online? It looks like it's for animation, changing color and changing position.

Answer 2

Did you copied this online and already edited by you?

Answer 3

No I am writing myself, I look online for inspiration but then I usually get swallowed down the rabbit hole of e
Js errors. What I am working on now is a complete DOM nightmare...

Answer 4

Here's what it looks like now: it's a Dom's all messed up.

I'm sorry, I can't understand, so https://code.sololearn.com/WPDKxX7unVEe/?ref=app is your inspiration? Or you also make this, if this is the continuation of code that is in your question, then it's finished I guess?

Answer 6

No I made this myself.
