Just making the move to p5.js from the Processing IDE… and have also been using the now deprecated/old P5 editor. I am wanting to code if possible without any internet access, so is it possible to have a local copy of the new web editor … or does it always require an internet connection? Mark ---

Hey There! Haven’t tried this but maybe give it a go by saving the web page on your PC. Maybe that will work ? ---

I have never used p5.js and just exploring for now… [https://p5js.org/get-started/](https://p5js.org/get-started/) I found this: > **[P5.js Editors](https://happycoding.io/tutorials/p5js/editors)** > > Which P5.js editor should I use? Observations The p5.min.js file version in Processing 3.53 IDE (installed p5.js mode) is /\*! p5.js v0.7.3 January 20, 2019 _/ The p5.js file version from p5.js site is /_! p5.js v0.8.0 April 08, 2019 \*/ I just thought I would ask here… How do I update the Processing IDE version to the latest? 🙂 ---

Thank you. I also copied into “Documents\Processing\modes\p5jsMode\template\libraries”. I will edit the default “index.html” as required. JavaScript is on my to do list… 🙂 ---

So … do all these replies mean that using the Processing IDE in in JavaScript mode is equivalent to using p5.js online as long as index.html points to the latest p5 library? ---

Most of the time, I just use a simple text editor like Notepad2 to write JS code and host them online at [OpenProcessing.org](http://OpenProcessing.org) or as a GitHub gist: > [@Code 800A0404 issue](https://discourse.processing.org/t/code-800a0404-issue/2036/3): > > Easiest & fastest recipe to run “.js” sketches under p5.js: running_man Install any Firefox-based browser in your OS and use it to open your “index.html” file: fox_faceInstall Notepad2 or Notepad++ (or both) in your OS and use it to type in your “sketch.js” file there: scroll[https://XhmikosR.GitHub.io/notepad2-mod/](https://XhmikosR.GitHub.io/notepad2-mod/)[https://Notepad-Plus-Plus.org](https://Notepad-Plus-Plus.org) You can setup those text editors to use UTF-8 and LF line endings for better compatibility. bulbHere’s my minimum “index.html” te… For more complex stuff, like writing TS or CS code, I use the Atom IDE and host them as a GitHub repo: > **[Sunsetting Atom](https://github.blog/2022-06-08-sunsetting-atom/)** > > We are archiving Atom and all projects under the Atom organization for an official sunset on December 15, 2022. > **[GitHub - GoSubRoutine/Ball-in-the-Chamber: JS Native Modules coded in TS...](https://github.com/GoSubRoutine/Ball-in-the-Chamber)** > > JS Native Modules coded in TS & CS.

Thanks for all ideas 😀 Gone for Visual Studio Code in the end. Seems nice so far to work with for p5.js and has support via plugins for Dart/Flutter that are also on my ‘try soon’ list 😁 ---

> [@shedMusic](#): > > Gone for Visual Studio Code in the end. If you have time, could you check if my whole project “Ball-in-the-Chamber” v3.0.0 would work in VSC, please? 🥺 That is, whether the TS & CS codes are properly recognized and emitted as JS by the VSC IDE like I have here on Atom IDE. ⚛ The whole project can be grabbed on the link below: 🔗 - [Releases · GoSubRoutine/Ball-in-the-Chamber · GitHub](http://GitHub.com/GoSubRoutine/Ball-in-the-Chamber/releases) Probably you’re gonna need to run [install-p5js-types.bat](https://github.com/GoSubRoutine/Ball-in-the-Chamber/blob/master/p5js-global/install-p5js-types.bat) in order to grab “@types/p5” definitions. 😳 ---

@GoToLoop Just tried for you but not working …? ☹ Will try to figure out why, but thought I’d at least let you know I have tried! Mark ---

Thx for trying to test my project under VSC. 👍 Anyways, here’s a screenshot of it under Atom IDE: ⚛ ![Atom](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/processingfoundation1/original/2X/8/80421d660804d1c01b1ac92ebc88c4593da60908.png)
