Week 3 Overview


Active: January 24th - January 30th

Homework Due: January 31st @ 9:00AM


This week you will start to learn about programming basics, along with the specifics of p5. There are a lot of details to become comfortable with. Because of this your homework will be very basic. Instead of worrying about homework for the week, you should work to become comfortable with the the basics of p5, including;

  • How to setup an empty p5 sketch.
  • How to open and view a p5 sketch in the browser.
  • How to read and search through p5 reference documentation.
  • What the “Hello World!” program is.
  • How to create a canvas.
  • How to color the background of a canvas.
  • How to create a live p5 webpage with GitHub pages.

Of course, before we start with any of that, we should find out what p5 is first. That is what you will start with this week, a conversation about p5.js.
