My first game in JavaScript...

SO I made a game, but this was for my computer science class with CodeHS. It is fairly simple with just pressing the ball that has different colors on it.

Colors for the ball in the code:

//Red
//Yellow
//Green

*//THE CODE
*

`var RADIUS = 100;
var OFF_SCREEN = -200;
var DELAY = 600;
var ball;
var score = 10;
var scoreText;
var WIN_SCORE = 20;

//Starts the program start code
function start(){
setUpBall();
setTimer(changeBall, DELAY);
mouseClickMethod(clickHandler)

scoreText = new Text(score);
scoreText.setPosition(0, getHeight())
add(scoreText)

}

function clickHandler(e){
var elem = getElementAt(e.getX(),e.getY());
if(elem != null && elem.getColor() ==
Color.green){
println("Great!")
score++;
}else{
println("Fail.")
score--;
}

    if(score == 0){
        displayMessage("You Lose :(");
    }
    if(score == WIN_SCORE){
        displayMessage("You Win!!! :D");
    }

    scoreText.setText(score);

}

function displayMessage(text){
stopTimer(changeBall);
var msg = new Text(text);
msg.setPosition(getWidth()/2 - msg.getWidth()/2
,200)
add(msg)

}

//Sets up the ball for the game to be used with.
function setUpBall(){
ball = new Circle(RADIUS);
ball.setPosition(OFF_SCREEN, OFF_SCREEN);
add(ball);

}
//Makes the ball go in a random position every 500 milliseconds
function changeBall(){
var x = Randomizer.nextInt(ball.getRadius(),
getWidth() - ball.getRadius());
var y = Randomizer.nextInt(ball.getRadius(),
getHeight() - ball.getRadius());

    ball.setColor(Randomizer.nextColor());



    ball.setPosition(x, y); 
    changeColor();

}
/changes the color of the ball from red to yellow when it
moves every time to a new position./
function changeColor(){
var colorCode = Randomizer.nextInt(0, 2);
var color;
if(colorCode == 0){
color = Color.red;
}else if(colorCode == 1){
color = Color.yellow;
}else{
color = Color.green
}

    ball.setColor(color);

Hi, I am a new user in the dev community and hope to make frequent posts about what I am doing. I do a lot of programming when I have free time from school and work. My favorite hobby is creating and developing games through the power of code. I also love seeing software and hardware being developed. I know more of JavaScript, but I am still learning more of it, and have not mastered in the langauge yet. What is it that I can learn more from the community on becoming a better dev? Thanks!
