An idea – phil caridi

Text content

First let me say that I am still struggling with the syntax and order of the required documents in order to have an interactive web experience. For instance, when I look at a p5.js sketch it is hard to figure out how to translate it to a standard JavaScript document that works with a server. Where and what gets emitted. If I have a canvas and a set of ui elements that each new user should have on their screen, how do I denote that in the code.

That being said for my midterm project I’m trying to convert the below p5.js sketch so that each new user adds another instance to the canvas and the ui displayed allows the user to control only their own instance.

If you want to play with it in the p5.js web editor the above link will take you there.

Let’s have a look at the code as it stands in p5.js
