p5 0.5.0

p5
===

p5 is a Python library that provides high level drawing functionality
to help you quickly create simulations and interactive art using
Python. It combines the core ideas of `Processing
<https://processing.org/>`_ — learning to code in a visual context —
with Python's readability to make programming more accessible to
beginners, educators, and artists.

Example
-------

.. image:: https://github.com/p5py/p5/blob/develop/docs/_static/readme.gif

p5 programs are called "sketches" and are run as any other Python
program. The sketch above, for instance, draws a circle at the mouse
location that gets a random reddish color when the mouse is pressed
and is white otherwise; the size of the circle is chosen randomly. The
Python code for the sketch looks like:

.. code:: python

from p5 import *

def setup():
size(640, 360)
no_stroke()
background(204)

def draw():
if mouse_is_pressed:
fill(random_uniform(255), random_uniform(127), random_uniform(51), 127)
else:
fill(255, 15)

circle_size = random_uniform(low=10, high=80)

circle((mouse_x, mouse_y), circle_size)

def key_pressed(event):
background(204)

run()
