Help test the release candidate
The 2.2 proposed minor release contains the ongoing work on WebGPU rendering! This is a release candidate (RC), which means it is not yet live on the p5.js Editor. Please help us to improve the stability of the newest version of p5.js by trying out this release candidate, and reporting bugs. You can also share your thoughts or get involved on Discord in the #webpgu channel!
Testing WebGPU mode
WebGPU mode is included in a core add-on now. To load both p5.js and WebGPU mode, add these two script tags to your sketch:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/p5@2.2.0-rc.4/lib/p5.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/p5@2.2.0-rc.4/lib/p5.webgpu.js"></script>Then load WebGPU mode in createCanvas:
async function setup() {
await createCanvas(400, 400, WEBGPU);
}Or, feel free to duplicate this project on the p5.js web editor: https://editor.p5js.org/ksen0/sketches/Ger2euN_J
