Hi @kylu,

You tagged your topic with Processing so you must know that Processing is running on the Java programming language and the JVM (Java virtual machine) and therefore can’t be run on a web page.

You have several alternatives:

- The most obvious one is to use [p5.js](https://p5js.org/) which is a port of Processing to JavaScript
- Host your sketch on OpenProcessing which can either use p5js or ProcessingJS (which translates Java code to JS but is [deprecated](https://intercom.help/openprocessing/en/articles/3250763-processingjs-deprecation-notice))
- Use the p5 web editor to interactively edit your sketches and share them with the world! 😉
