# p5xjs

Daily creative coding experiments built with [p5.js](https://p5js.org/).

This repository is a collection of date-stamped sketches exploring generative art, mathematical visuals, WebGL experiments, procedural animation, and real-time visual systems.

Each sketch is kept in its own folder so the process, experiments, and visual development can be tracked over time.

## Overview

This repository focuses on:

* Generative art
* p5.js sketches
* WebGL experiments
* Mathematical visual systems
* Procedural animation
* Shader-inspired effects
* Daily creative coding practice

## Directory Structure

```txt
.
├── 2025xxxx/           # Date-stamped daily sketches
├── Flower_Arrangement/ # Standalone reference sketch
├── p5_js/              # Minimal starter files
├── addons/             # Local p5.js add-ons

├── p5.min.js           # Minified p5.js library
└── empty-example/      # Blank template for new sketches
```

## How to Run

Because many sketches use local files, assets, or browser APIs, running them through a local server is recommended.

1. Open a terminal inside the sketch folder you want to view.

```bash
cd 2025xxxx
```

2. Start a lightweight local server.

```bash
python -m http.server
```

3. Open the local URL in your browser.

```txt
http://localhost:8000
```
