> Hi, Newbie question… Once you have some code you are happy with is it possible to add it to an HTML page? One site I use is coded in HTML and PHP?

Basically, you can’t embed a Java application in a website. You either have to use Processing.js or P5.js. This also means you can’t use Java-specific libraries.

You could export your sketch as an application and then allow users to download the application, but you can’t embed it directly in a webpage without using Processing.js or P5.js.
