       | comparison to similar librairies

         | The scrolling seems like a bug that was related to recent
         | changes. I opened an issue here:

         | I love processing/p5 and it's very easy to learn and has a
         | vibrant community and lots of add-ons. It's also a great
         | education tool.

         | Pts is a more opinionated library because one of my personal
         | motivations was to create something that can help me think and
         | approach creative coding in conceptual ways. It's more
         | composable, and it provides the building blocks for a
         | complementary library that I'm building now. :)
