We are hosting a [L5 Community Jam](https://itch.io/jam/l5lua-community-jam) starting this Friday September 25 and running until October 3.

This is a great chance to try out L5. The easiest starting point for those with previous experience with p5.js or Processing is to use [VS Codium or VS Code along with the new L5lua extension](https://l5lua.org/download/#step-by-step-install-guides).

You could start by porting a previous p5 sketch to L5 and building on it from there.

## Some more ideas:

- Reimagine what a digital zine could be.
- Build an interactive artwork.
- Create a new tool for you or a small community.
- Use hand-drawn images or your own photographs.
- Keep a devlog! We are super interested in reading about your process.
- Ask questions and share resources in the [community page](https://itch.io/jam/l5lua-community-jam/community)!

## Public exhibition

We’ll be picking submissions to exhibit in an IRL exhibition at Processing Community Day in New York at NYU on October 3 (the end of the jam), especially presenting them on a pop-up cyber cafe of older computers running L5. We’re excited to present work made for the jam.
