processing/p5.js v2.2.1-rc.0 on GitHub

What's Changed

The upcoming patch focuses on bugfixes and documentation, particularly on WebGPU and strands. 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!

To test this patch, you can load both p5.js and WebGPU mode by adding these two script tags to your sketch:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/p5@2.2.1-rc.0/lib/p5.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/p5@2.2.1-rc.0/lib/p5.webgpu.js"></script>

Then load WebGPU mode in createCanvas:

async function setup() {
  await createCanvas(400, 400, WEBGPU);
}

Read more about how it works and where we plan on taking it here!
