p5.js vs processing

JG101

(beginner coder)

How do ppl still get to use p5.js if its no longer available to download.

Is the syntax different for p5.js vs processing

I see youtube video posting ppl using p5.js

Am I able to create the same type of ideas using Processing vs p5.js as others use p5.js or is the syntax different?

In a nutshell, Processing is java and P5.js is javascript. Two different languages but the concepts are the same. Check the second link below to see examples comparing both codes:

You could also run the Processing IDE and install the p5.js mode...

@koogs don't know what is the status of the project. I always stick to sketchpad or openprocessing or even p5.js mode... so many modes but I think the next one I will be trying is codepen as I have seen some really good demos showing how neat that interface is.

If I can find the link to p5.js editors... check: https://forum.processing.org/two/search?Search=editor

and this link is probly what you want: https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/comment/90908/#Comment_90908

that video says that the editor is currently MIA. but that's not the same thing as p5.js being deprecated.

We can download "p5.js" from a CDN host like this 1:

1. http://www.JSDelivr.com/projects/p5.js
2. https://CDN.JSDelivr.net/p5.js/latest/mainfile

An "index.html" minimum template:

<script src=https://CDN.JSDelivr.net/p5.js/latest/mainfile></script>
<script src=sketch.js></script>
