runp5

runp5: command line tool for serving p5 projects

Installation

npm install -g git+ssh:[e-mail]:horizons-school-of-technology/runp5.git

Usage

runp5 main.js

where main.js is the root file of your p5 program

Programming environment

runp5 uses p5.js's instance mode, with the instance named game. You should call p5 functions using game.fill() etc:

game.fill(0, 0, 255);
game.ellipse(50, 50, 100, 100);

Game loop:

runp5 allows you to create a game loop in one of two ways:

1. By setting the game.draw function: game.draw = function() { };

2. By creating a while(true) loop and calling await frame(); in each iteration of the loop to advance the frame counter
