Check out my article (with video) on how I use Cecli Open Source AI coding assistant to write code for me inside of the Processing IDE.

Just type a comment and the AI will do the rest! [Cecli Watch Files Mode - Circus Scientist](https://www.circusscientist.com/cecli-watch-files-mode/)

The last time I checked the Processing P5.js IDE had become unusable on older computers.

Maybe I’ll try again with it today. It was good when it worked.

….

Ok, tried it. I’m getting multiple infinite loops stoppage when there aren’t any.

Code quality gone to the dogs or they are just trying to do too much and it has become unmanageable.

Are you talking about Processing IDE or Cecli here? I’ll admit Cecli isn’t perfect, your milage may very depending on which setup you have (LLM, MCP, etc).

also, I am using Processing 4 IDE not P5.js - I think that’s a different product
