p5.js-web-editor VS codewars.com

not sure it counts as "HyperCard" but for environments there's p5js.org (https://editor.p5js.org/)

> I wish there were an offline environment like that built into firefox. You can bring up a javascript console, but it's not really a friendly development environment. And something like visual studio code is capable but large and complicated.

That seems like a day project in electron. At least to MVP. Use CodeMirror or Monaco. As long as you pass the right options you can run the user's code in an iframe in a separate process. That way you can kill it even if it has an infinite loop.

p5.js already has a web editor for you where you can make your first sketch. You can click here to create your first sketch.

Another option is to use the p5.js library. They also have a nice online editor, at https://editor.p5js.org/, which makes it easy for students to get up and running quickly.

Playing is the way to go! Some stuff can be a bit hard to wrap your head around for the first time, but theres a lot of resources and good people on the generative scene to help. If you havent saw it, you can use the online editor https://editor.p5js.org/ so you dont need to worry about how the file structure of a p5 project works (its easy!) And this will feel a bit dumb for some people but the moment i saw the reference page https://p5js.org/es/reference/ i felt a bit of relief as i thought programmers just memorized all those methods and functions.

I'm not very good at JS or processing, but you can see how this one worked out by pasting it into https://editor.p5js.org/ or a similar website.

You could do something like this in p5js pretty easily. p5js is a beginner friendly JavaScript library for drawing to an HTML canvas.

I believe p5.js (used at https://editor.p5js.org/) is quite close to Scratch in spirit. Of course I think turning straight to javascript (the library really streamlines it) might be too difficult without instruction, so following some kind of tutorials or lessons would be necessary.

It's incredibly fun, and I've been making procedural... things for a while with it. Many artists use it (and of course every web tool is available... you can even later port the code to just straight canvas for the performance, although that's rarely necessary I guess).

Hi, i'm on editor.p5js.org

I did some traveling around the western US in late 2022 to take stock of where my life was and where I was going. During that time I decided that I would go all-in with my coding education, and committed to learning the remaining material listed on those bootcamp syllabi that I had not yet studied – namely, connecting the pieces of the MERN stack; learning about automated testing and data structures & algorithms; and studying development paradigms & methodologies like Agile, Scrum & Kanban, and OOP design patterns & principles – as well as continue to develop my programming fundamentals on platforms like Leetcode and Codewars.

My first encounter with regular expressions was in a solution for a coding problem on Codewars, specifically Count the smiley faces! Which asks you to count the number of smiley faces in a given array but the catch is each smiley can have 1 of 2 kinds of eyes (: or ;), may or may not have a nose represented by 1 of 2 symbols (- or ~), and 1 of 2 symbols (D or ) ) for the smile. In total there are 12 different combinations that are a valid smiley. I, being the young and naive programmer I was, hard coded all 12 of those faces and checked every element against that list. And it worked! But the top solution included some strange syntax that I had never seen before

Embrace Challenges: Challenge yourself with platforms like Exercism and Codewars that offer a wide range of coding challenges of varying difficulty levels. Additionally, consider exploring niche topics through courses on platforms like Coursera and edX.

@OP DO NOT go on the path of perfecting it and parting with your time and money. Go with Jake Vanderplas's whirlwind tour of python whirlwind tour of python to get some basics and then jump into the river codewars and swim upstream daily and religiously until you reach to katas level 5. You will be good to go. My personal experience.

Codewars: Codewars

You can try Codewars, they have a diverse range of practice problems(Cryptography, Data Science, etc.). Basically if you wanna get good in a programming language, you have to work on a lot of projects and practice problems.

Codewars is a good platform. Here you can practice code kata's daily in your preferred programming language. Link: https://www.codewars.com/

If you're looking for something that is closer to a combat style game you could try https://www.codewars.com/
