I’m looking for a tutorial which illustrates the structural changes from p5 1.x.x to p5 2.x.x. I’m talking about font loading, image loading, how preload() has gone, async issues, the new improved async-ness of 2.x.x, any important changes to the Datatypes, eg. is p5.Color any different, is the format of p5.Color stored differently in browser Local Storage etc. Not immediately looking for detail on new 3D modes and shaders.
This is in the context of moving a very large mainly 2D code from 1.x.x to 2.x.x. I’ve looked around but didn’t see what I needed, but could easily have missed it.
I’ve run my code unde 2.2.0 and it mainly works and survives, so things are good, but I’d like to know more details.
There’s also a helpful interview with Kit Kuksenok that gives additional context about the 2.0 release, with links to further resources in the show notes:
The compatibility link @sableraph gave is the main information about the changes. The README contains list of changes as well as side by side code for 1.x and 2.x. Lastly, if you want to use 1.x but with some 2.x features, this is also possible with the add-ons in the above library. For example, to use 2.x + preload, these settings would work:
