Would you like your art to be included in a video celebrating the release of v3? Share it on q5’s Discord!
The “official” release of q5 WebGPU is coming soon!
Try out my new q5.js template or p5play template for Project IDX.
Google’s Project IDX is basically Visual Studio Code in the browser, plus tightly integrated AI (Gemini) for free! Giving students auto-complete, inline suggestions, and hover documentation out of the box is a game changer.
I still recommend using OpenProcessing with middle school students due to its simpler UI, but older students should use Project IDX to gain experience with an industry standard development environment.
Recently I’ve been putting the finishing touches on q5:
upgraded the color documentation
q5 WebGPU now supports OKLCH, HSL, and HSB color modes
removed

myShader.applyBeforeDraw = true, demo coming soonadded support for frame rates higher than the display refresh rate
q5’s canvas recorder can now capture audio, works with the builtin q5-sound module and the p5.sound library
Stay tuned for the release of q5 v3!
