Hello I recently discovered the [https://p5js.org](https://p5js.org) website and have been playing around a bit but I feel a bit adrift. Is there some documentation on how this all works. My exact questions are:
1.) What computer language is being used (I’m guessing javascript…and its a guess because I use other languages along the C tree.)
2.) What is the entry point within the example code. (If the answer is see javascript then fine…just should say that somewhere.)
3.) Can I debug code? (Look at data, stop on a line, step etc.)
I think the rest is fairly well documented, but the first startup steps are obscure to me. RTFM and a link to the thing I’m suppose to read is perfectly OK. But I can’t find the M. [redacted]
Thanks
Oh and yell at me if this is the wrong place, but please point to the correct place.

Is this your way of saying it was there? Very cute. OK it was a dumb question. But what about debugging? Create a local area on my PC and do javascript there? I was just using the web test bed.
Appreciate the answer and perhaps I will look a bit more before asking again.
Need to do 1 thing at a time.

Hello @skeletor53818,
This tutorial has useful information and section on debugging:
