Creative coding workspace

Tronicart - Creative Workspace

This monorepo is designed for creative coding, mainly with P5.js, but not limited to it. It uses pnpm as a package manager and Turbo Repo as a monorepo tool. Sketches are located in the /sketches folder, while reusable packages are located in the /packages folder.

Here are a few sketch outputs I've generated thanks to these tools:

Getting Started

To get started with this monorepo, you'll need to install pnpm globally:

npm install -g pnpm

Then, install the dependencies:

pnpm install

Creating a New Sketch

To create a new TypeScript sketch, use the following command:

pnpm generate:sketch

This will create a new sketch in the /sketches folder, with the following structure:

/sketches
  /my-new-sketch
    main.ts
    package.json
    /public
      index.html
      style.css

You can then start the development server for your sketch using the following command:

turbo run serve --filter=<sketchName>

This will start a development server at http://localhost:3033 that automatically rebuilds your sketch as you make changes.

Running the Playground Sketch

A playground sketch exists for fiddling around. To run the playground sketch, use the following command:

pnpm run playground

This will start a development server at http://localhost:3033 that allows you to experiment with different sketches and packages.

Packages

This monorepo contains several reusable packages for creative coding, located in the /packages folder. Some of the most important packages are:

• @tronicart/cc: A collection of utilities and helpers for P5.js.
• @tronicart/p5-flow-field: A function for creating and manipulating 2D flow fields.
• @tronicart/data-structures: A collection data structures for creative coding.
• @tronicart/batch-capture: Captures screenshots of your sketch in batches.
• @tronicart/shapes: A collection of 2D shapes for creative coding.
• @tronicart/poisson-disk-sampling: function for generating 2D points that are uniformly spaced apart.

Check the /packages folder for more.
