Seems to be a pretty old demo-code.
esspressif did change variable types in the API multiple times
here is a code-version which does compile using
ESP32 core version 2.0.14
with additional download-URL
https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json
// WARNING !! Trying to adapt this ESP32-code using ESP-NOW to a ESP8266 is a big hassle
// as the ESP8266-ESP-NOW-library works very differently using other functions etc.
// for coding with an ESP8266 start with a code that is written for ESP8266 DON'T try to adapt an ESP32-code
//WiFiLib and Esp-NowLib espnowlib
