A few javascript questions.... I cant find the causing errors

[StacyFace]

I am currently trying to make a "frogger" like game using Sublime Text 2 and Perlenspiel. So far I have the board somewhat built. I am running into two problems at the moment.

First: When I move the function (DrawPlayer), the glyph trails, but not the color of the bead.... I cannot figure out how to get the glyph to disappear and change back to the original color of the bead, Violet....

Second: I've made functions and if/else if statements to make the "enemies" appear randomly that should technically begin by falling downwards on the grid from top to bottom. Yet I can't seem to get these "skulls" to show up at all. Can someone point out where I've made the mistake? Is it in the timer area or the if/else if statements?

I've copied and pasted all the coding I have for this game thus far. Please please help!!

Thank you in advance for your guidance!!!

Hi

could you provide some context on the 'why' of this task? I've seen similar tasks be set for as interview technical-tests and for academic homework/test purposes.

thanks
