Get Started
This page walks you through setting up a p5.js project and making your first sketch. If you'd like to start with the new p5.js Web Editor, you can jump down to Your First Sketch.

The easiest way to start is by using the empty example that comes with thep5.js complete download.
If you look in index.html, you'll notice that it links to the file p5.js. If you would like to use the minified version (compressed for faster page loading), change the link to p5.min.js.

In your editor, type the following:
function setup() {
}
function draw() {
ellipse(50, 50, 80, 80);
