What's Changed
In this release, p5.js added draggable() to let you move around elements, added imageLight() to get 3D lighting from images, added computeNormals(SMOOTH) for custom smooth 3D geometry, and added support for custom filter shaders in 2D mode. We updated a group of p5.js Reference pages as part of 2023 Season of Docs (SoD) program, with a goal to make them more accessible and beginner-friendly. Thanks to the SoD technical writer @nickmcintyre.
