oh, this sounds bad,

-a- did you work on  
[https://editor.p5js.org/](https://editor.p5js.org/)  
or on Processing IDE 3.5.3 mode: “p5js”

-b- how you saved your project?

-c- sorry, actually it is a hard lesson to learn on using any computer program  
that you not type 5 hours and then try to save to a file,  
you type one line, save to file,  
type more and save again…

it was on editor and i used the Ctrl + s shortcut and manually did it and yeah i was saving it after like 5 hours i kept loosing track of time. so if i go to bed and then wake up and get back on to it do you think that i should save it before i start?

??  
if you work on

> **[p5.js Web Editor](https://editor.p5js.org/)**
>
> A web editor for p5.js, a JavaScript library with the goal of making coding accessible to artists, designers, educators, and beginners.

and your not login see

> Error  
> In order to save sketches, you must be logged in. Please [Login](https://editor.p5js.org/login) or [Sign Up](https://editor.p5js.org/signup)

but you have a account and login you can save with [ctrl][s]  
( but could give it a useful name first )

and you reopen that page ( after close browser or reboot… )  
you must login again to your account.

and then try to find it via  
/File/Open/  
is there no saved project to find?  
looks like:
