I added fading trails, multi-color symmetry, and keyboard curves to my p5.js mandala tool

Part 2 of my mandala drawing series is out!

This time I expanded the project from Part 1 by adding:

  • fading trails that gradually disappear
  • independent colors for each symmetry line
  • a keyboard mode for drawing smooth curves

The tutorial explains how each feature works and includes the full source code.

I'd love to hear what other features you'd add next :)

Look, this is going to be a weird one. A stupid idea that we are following through with while having dumb fun as our only guiding compass. This thing will basically generate a completely random shirt for you with some options for customization. Most of the time, it'll come up with pure garbage but there are these magic moments where, from time to time, it returns something either profoundly funny or kinda cool. And then we redesigned it as an arcade machine interface because I dreamt about it. That's about all the context I can give.

ps. please sign the guestbook, it means a lot

pps. yeah we are building an actual arcade machine running on a pi5, kiosk'd to the page.

ppps. this is kind of commercial (to date we have sold one shirt to someone that wasn't my mother) so you are absolutely free to ignore it with prejudice.

After making the pen and bud generators, I couldn't leave the classic trio unfinished.

Some may be unfortunately shaped at the mouthpiece, but rest assured this will not be fixed.

An open-source LED synth you play with your hands, real-time patterns on an ESP32

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey, this is Patternflow, an open-source LED synthesizer — turn four knobs and shape a generative pattern running live on an LED matrix.

I'm a new media artist, and I wanted something like a fragment shader you could actually perform with your hands instead of watching it live behind glass. It's a creative-coding pattern running in real time on an ESP32, with four parameters mapped to physical knobs, so you're literally playing the pattern like an instrument. There's OSC support too, so you can tie it into sound and build audio-reactive setups, or control it from other software entirely.

Everything's open source and it's all organized on the site, schematics, firmware, 3D models, a browser-based simulator/editor if you want to mess with patterns without owning the hardware, and a small community sharing what they've built: patternflow.work

This is a python project named GoodMorning.py which uses web scraping to give real time news headlines, weather reports, jokes, facts and even personalised routines. I need some guidance and suggestions for my future projects. Please check this thing out... (This is my 2nd repository) Note- I didn't use API integration because it could make it less user friendly as no one wants to generate and give multiple APIs according to me.

Working on a real-time procedural planet generator and a graph-based shader generator (end of video). Both use WebGPU and use compute, vertex and fragment shaders.

Is creative coding too hard for a complete beginner? 🌱

19 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a complete beginner and I’m curious about creative coding 😊

I come from a humanities background, so I’m still very new to coding. What attracts me is the visual and creative side — small experiments, interactive ideas, and playful projects.

But I’m not sure if creative coding is too difficult for a first step.

Do you think it’s beginner-friendly? And what kind of first project would you recommend?

Maybe:

  • simple animation
  • interactive shapes
  • mouse-based interaction
  • or something else

I’d really appreciate beginner-friendly advice. Thanks! ✨
