Hello!

p5.js is a JavaScript library for creative coding, with a focus on
making coding accessible and inclusive for artists, designers,
educators, beginners, and anyone else! p5.js is free and open-source
because we believe software, and the tools to learn it, should be
accessible to everyone.

Using the metaphor of a sketch, p5.js has a full set of drawing
functionality. However, you're not limited to your drawing canvas.
You can think of your whole browser page as your sketch, including
HTML5 objects for text, input, video, webcam, and sound.

Start creating with the p5 Editor!

Community

We are a community of, and in solidarity with, people from every
gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity,
language, neuro-type, size, disability, class, religion, culture,
subculture, political opinion, age, skill level, occupation, and
background. We acknowledge that not everyone has the time, financial
means, or capacity to actively participate, but we recognize and
encourage involvement of all kinds. We facilitate and foster access
and empowerment. We are all learners.

p5.js is an interpretation of Processing for today's web. We hold
events and operate with support from the Processing Foundation.
