This is a fork of the p5.js web editor. The goal of this fork is/was to explore various additional features to the p5 editor useful for UChicago CMSC11111 course and for understanding the role of creative coding more generally. It is now a bit behind the primary p5.js web editor, but it is still a useful resource for understanding the p5.js web editor and how it can be modified. A number of features have been stripped out (to try to reduce build times) while others have been added. For more details about the work done in this fork, see our paper here.
What follows is the normal documentation for the p5.js web editor when we forked it.
Documentation is also available in the following languages
The p5.js Web Editor is a platform for creative coding, with a focus on making coding accessible for as many people as possible, including artists, designers, educators, beginners, and anyone who wants to learn. Simply by opening the website you can get started writing p5.js sketches without downloading or configuring anything. The editor is designed with simplicity in mind by limiting features and frills. We strive to listen to the community to drive the editor’s development, and to be intentional with every change. The editor is free and open-source.
We also strive to give the community as much ownership and control as possible. You can download your sketches so that you can edit them locally or host them elsewhere. You can also host your own version of the editor, giving you control over its data.
