How to make an object disappear after a certain amount of time using javascript

Question

I am actually making a 3d snake game and I want the apple that I have made should disappear after 5 seconds.
I know that I need to make a function that that includes the setTimeout(function() but I am not able to find how to implement this knowledge. Please help me out here !

Answer 1

There will be needed a trigger / flag (information) that a apple had been created. In this time point starts the setTimeout for 5 seconds with function which will clear the game area. After that the game area will be new created of course without an apple.

Answer 2

Harsh Shukla hello,
Here you have exemple how to use setTimeout().

In your case you'll have to get the element in which is the apple.
(Give an id="apple" to that element)
Ex: let apple=document.querySelector("#apple");
Then in your setTimeout you can use the remove function on it.

setTimeout(()=>{
apple.remove();
},5000)
