Introduction to Creative Coding

What is Creative Coding?

Creative coding is a type of coding that focuses on creating interactive and dynamic visual experiences. It combines art, design, and technology to produce innovative and engaging content.

Getting Started with Creative Coding

To get started with creative coding, you will need to have a basic understanding of programming concepts and HTML/CSS. JavaScript is a popular language used for creative coding, and libraries like p5.js make it easy to create interactive graphics.

const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width =400;
canvas.height =300;
document.body.appendChild(canvas);
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

function draw() {
 ctx.clearRect(0,0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
 ctx.fillStyle = 'rgb(' + Math.floor(Math.random() *256) + ',' + Math.floor(Math.random() *256) + ',' + Math.floor(Math.random() *256) + ')';
 ctx.fillRect(0,0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
 requestAnimationFrame(draw);
}
draw();
