Hi all,
I built p5forge, a small browser tool that converts Processing-style sketches to p5.js and runs them instantly.
The idea is simple:
- paste Processing-like code
- transpile to p5.js
- run and iterate fast in one UI
This is still best-effort and intentionally lightweight, but I want to make it genuinely useful for creative coding archives and teaching material.
Here is the demo
Here is the repo
Feedback and suggestions are welcome
Hi @Meiller and thanks for sharing!
For anyone interested to dig further into that topic, here are two related projects also worth knowing about:
- Processing.js: it’s unmaintained now, but it still runs a large fraction of older Processing sketches in the browser. Here’s an example of a recent processing.js sketch on openprocessing.org.
- Darren Kessner’s processing-p5-convert: parses the sketch code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) and translates from that, which makes it more robust than a simple regex approach.
