This has to do with how `loadImage` and `loadSound` are implemented. The functions use something called Fetch API and have that configured in such a way that downloading of files isn’t allowed locally. Believe it or not, it’s related to security.

There’s not much you can do about it really (except patching p5.js). Running a web server (locally or elsewhere) as you did is the way to go.

If you’re interested in the technical details, read up on [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS) and [Fetch API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API).
