#genuary 6: light switch. it's a light switch! openprocessing.org/sketch/2835355 #p5 #p5v2

#genuary 5: write "genuary" without using a font. This is an SDF in p5.strands painfully constructed out of lines, circles, and booleans. openprocessing.org/sketch/2839537 #p5 #p5v2

#genuary 4: low res. Here's a small shader with noise and feedback where you can see the pixels. Done with p5.strands openprocessing.org/sketch/2839078 #p5 #p5v2

one small bit of good news given.... everything else today. new Peter Gabriel album coming soon youtu.be/iqKKOtfC2vg?...

#genuary 3's theme is "fibonacci." You know how low effort """science""" images will slap a fibonacci spiral on a picture of some nature and hype it up? Yeah. Made in #p5v2 but there is nothing technically interesting going on in this one lol openprocessing.org/sketch/2838517

#genuary 2: 12 principles of animation. Here's some anticipation and overshoot done in a p5.strands shader. #p5 #p5v2 openprocessing.org/sketch/2838235

I built a small tool to get you up and running faster in #genuary26 ✨

one more thing for today: I wrote a blog post about p5's new webgpu mode and how I see it fitting in to the p5 ecosystem going forward. www.davepagurek.com/blog/p5-webg...

Continuing some work on making p5.strands feel a little more p5-y. Maybe shader hooks could be done via begin/end instead of a nested callback? How does this feel? Live: editor.p5js.org/davepagurek/...

#genuary 1: orb made of little orbs, made in #p5v2 openprocessing.org/sketch/2837918

hello EVERYBODY remember to GENUARY !!! tomorrow starts DAY 1 of GENUARY, the generative art month -- we have prepared 31 unique code based daily prompts for you (specifically for you) (yes you) #generative #genartclub #genuary2026 #genuary

omg I love this so much

someone on the p5 discord challenged someone to make the Pluribus intro in p5.js. I got nerd sniped a bit, here's a quick attempt with p5.strands to do some particle animation

My day job is making a video editor where every component is actually a p5.js sketch. If that's of use to anyone for Genuary, you can sign up for a dev account via this link www.usebutter.com/register?cod... and see some docs/examples here! www.usebutter.com/docs

This week's #WCCChallenge theme is "almost." Nothing technically complex going on here, just a bunch of keyframes I typed in to animate this cat in #p5v2 openprocessing.org/sketch/2832077

p5.js version 2.2 will include our experimental WebGPU mode! The release candidate is available to test here if you're interested in testing it out: github.com/processing/p...

I can’t get over the fact that Toronto + Ontario shut down transit on one of the busiest weekends of the year. It’s contempt for the people who live here.

I realized recently that my first legit programming job was in 2015, ten years ago. Made a little blog about how it's been going. www.davepagurek.com/blog/a-decad...

This is a scandal. Designed for 33 min by Metrolinx, operated by TTC slower than a bus

The City of Toronto seriously needs to get full transit signal priority activated ASAP to help speed up the new Line 6 Finch West, as well as ensure the same for Line 5 Eglinton when it opens. @ttcriders.bsky.social already has a petition to that effect. #TTC #TOpoli www.ttcriders.ca/greenlight

today we're working on the last(?) p5.js WebGPU feature before we're at WebGL feature parity: imageLight(). gotta actually write some new shaders today to do the different blur levels! and get mipmaps to work!

I'm sorry this is COOL AS SHIT

Working on some ways to make p5.strands easier to write for newcomers by taking out some of the callbacks: editor.p5js.org/davepagurek/...

Here’s a question I get a lot: > “Now that AI can generate front-end UIs for us, what’s the point of learning CSS ourselves?” I think there are lots of reasons, including that you can use AI much more effectively if you understand CSS yourself. But is that actually true? Let’s discuss. 🧵

Today I'm working on getting p5.strands filter shaders working in webgpu mode!

p5 just did a sorta new thing for us: we had a call on Discord to work out some specifics of how to handle dimension mismatches between vectors. Seems small but there are a lot of details to talk through, and we thought a call would be more productive than GitHub.

babe wake up 4 and a half hours of defunctland just dropped youtu.be/NyIgV84fudM?...

this weekend I embark upon a journey to make p5.strands work in WebGPU. lets see if our backend-agnostic architecture holds up like it was designed to 🤞

meet Wormicelli

now that p5 2.1 is out im working on getting webgpu mode to a point where it can actually be merged into the main codebase (although not publicly released just yet.) Checked another box off the list today, got text rendering working! these are boring screenshots but they're from webgpu!

Our next meetup is next Wednesday! Come out and see what the community has been up to! www.meetup.com/creative-cod...

p5.js version 2.1 has been released! github.com/processing/p...

🔴🔵🟢 New Color Picker allows you to find that color you are obsessed with, and convert it to HEX/RGB/HSB/HSL format in a snap! Now, you can also save your color palettes to use in your future @p5xjs sketches. Try it here: openprocessing.org/sketch/27571...

Anyone interested in helping out the all-contributors project, which p5.js uses to display all of the people who have helped out? There's a spec + CLI + github bot and they're looking for new maintainers! github.com/all-contribu...

🚀 Over the last few weeks, we pushed lots of improvements on the code editor, and we’ll highlight each of them every day this week!. 1️⃣ New syntax color theme now prioritizes your variables, and **Alt/Option + Click** takes you directly to #p5js reference! openprocessing.org/sketch/2757103

what a start to the game!
