p5.js in the Jupyter Notebook using the Jupyter Widgets.

This project aims to be a follow-up of p5-jupyter-notebook, so that p5 can be used in JupyterLab (and in the classic Notebook) as a proper package.

Current Status

• Define a sketch using the instance mode of p5. This explains the use of p in the sample sketch.
• The sketch is synced to the widget as a raw string and evaluated on the frontend.

TODO

• Figure out how to expose a Python wrapper to the p5 API
• How to avoid round trips to the server (syncing of values) when making animations (updating values at every frame)?
• Proper testing, packaging and documentation once the problems above are solved

Goal

The ideal goal (disclaimer: not implemented yet) would be to write code like this in a notebook cell:

class MySketch(BaseSketch):
    W, H = 400, 400
def setup(s):         s.createCanvas(s.W, s.H)         s.rectMode(s.CENTER)
def draw(s):         s.background('#ddd')         s.translate(200, 200)         for i in range(4):             s.push()             s.rotate(s.frameCount / 200 * (i + 1))             s.fill(i  5, i  100, i * 150)             s.rect(0, 0, 200, 200)             s.pop()
sketch = MySketch() sketch
