Answer 1

Ah, I didn't realise you already had it there. All you need to do is remove the brackets/parentheses.

setInterval(update, 20);

NOT

setInterval(update(), 20);

Answer 2

Answer 4

saif Get used to tiny bugs like this, if you want a career in coding!! 😁

Answer 5

You need to activate the "update ()" function, for example by setting the button:
<button onclick="update()">right</button>

Answer 6

Put something like this at the end of your script. The duration parameter is in milliseconds.

setInterval(update, 100);
