I just started with javascript and am working on a little game to wrap my head around it and came across an error I can't seem to fix.
Code:
if (AsteriodXpos[i] < -50 || AsteriodYpos[i] < -100 || AsteriodYpos[i] > WinHeight + 100) {
AsteriodXpos[i] = WinWidth;
AsteriodYpos[i] = Math.round(Math.random() * WinHeight);
AsteriodXSpeed[i] = Math.random() * 5 + 7;
AsteriodYSpeed[i] = Math.random() * 7 - 5;
AstriodsAvoided += 1;
if (AstriodsAvoided % 15 == 0) {
document.write('<div style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px">');
document.write('<div style="position:relative">');
document.write('<div id="ast" style="position:absolute;font-size:2px"><img src="asteroid.png" height=50 width=50></div>');
document.write('</div>');
document.write('</div>');
AsteriodYpos[AsteriodYpos.length] = Math.round(Math.random() * WinHeight);
AsteriodXpos[AsteriodXpos.length] = Math.round(Math.random() * WinWidth) + WinWidth;
AsteriodXSpeed[AsteriodXSpeed.length] = Math.random() * 10 + 5;
AsteriodYSpeed[AsteriodYSpeed.length] = Math.random() * 7 - 5;
asteriods += 1;
}
}
ast[i].style.pixelLeft = AsteriodXpos[i];
ast[i].style.pixelTop = AsteriodYpos[i]+hscrll;
When it seems to not like these last two lines as it says "Error: Unable to get value of the property 'style': object is null or undefined". Essentially it is a game where you are flying through space avoiding astroids. after you avoid so many it increases the number of astroids which is where the problem is happening. In case someone would like to see this in context of what im doing the whole code is

Any help someone could provide would be wonderful, and if you can explain to me whats going wrong and why its not working that would be even better!
