P5-for-5

On this day in 2010, Studio Sketchpad debuted with a tweet. Today, five years and more than 200,000 sketches later, the studio is still open! While I haven’t put much time into hacking on Sketchpad recently, I decided to find time to add something new, in honor of the website’s big birthday. When I started thinking about what a fitting addition might be, the clear winner was the idea of adding support to Sketchpad to allow people to write and collaborate on sketches created using the up-and-coming P5.js library. I’m happy to announce that this is now possible. Sketchpad features a new public studio that has been custom-built for P5.js, open to anyone at p5js.sketchpad.cc
