Help test the release candidate

The2.2 proposed minor release contains the ongoing work on WebGPU rendering! This is arelease candidate (RC), which means it is not yet live on the p5.js Editor. Please help us to improve the stability of the newest version of p5.js by trying out this release candidate, and reporting bugs. You can also share your thoughts or get involved on Discord in the#webpgu channel!

Testing WebGPU mode

WebGPU mode is included in a core add-on now. To load both p5.js and WebGPU mode, add these two script tags to your sketch:

<scriptsrc="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/p5@2.2.0-rc.2/lib/p5.js"></script><scriptsrc="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/p5@2.2.0-rc.2/lib/p5.webgpu.js"></script>

Then load WebGPU mode increateCanvas:

asyncfunctionsetup(){awaitcreateCanvas(400,400,WEBGPU);}

Or, feel free to duplicate this project on the p5.js web editor:https://editor.p5js.org/davepagurek/sketches/bmEYKK2aw

Read more about how it works and where we plan on taking it here:https://github.com/processing/p5.js/blob/dev-2.0/contributor_docs/webgpu.md

What's new in p5.js 2.1 🌱

• ...TypeScript integration
• ...p5.strands branchingif/else and loopingfor
• ...Addon Events API
• ...Color contrast checker, which you can use like this:

letbgColor,fg1Color,fg2Color,msg1,msg2;functionsetup(){createCanvas(100,100);bgColor=color(0);fg1Color=color(100);fg2Color=color(220);if(bgColor.contrast(fg1Color)){msg1='good';}else{msg1='bad';}if(bgColor.contrast(fg2Color)){msg2='good';}else{msg2='bad';}describe('A black canvas with a faint grey word saying "bad" at the top left and a brighter light grey word saying "good" in the middle of the canvas.');}functiondraw(){background(bgColor);textSize(18);fill(fg1Color);text(msg1,10,30);fill(fg2Color);text(msg2,10,60);}

oneColor.contrast(anotherColor) checks the contrast between two colors. This method returns a boolean value to indicate if the two color has enough contrast.true means that the colors has enough contrast to be used as background color and body text color.false means there is not enough contrast.

A second argument can be passed to the method,options , which defines the algorithm to be used. The algorithms currently supported are WCAG 2.1 ('WCAG21') or APCA ('APCA'). The default is WCAG 2.1. If a value of'all' is passed to theoptions argument, an object containing more details is returned. The details object will include the calculated contrast value of the colors and different passing criteria.

letbgColor,fgColor,contrast;functionsetup(){createCanvas(100,100);bgColor=color(0);fgColor=color(200);contrast=bgColor.contrast(fgColor,'all');describe('A black canvas with four short lines of grey text that respectively says: "WCAG 2.1", "12.55", "APCA", and "-73.30".');}functiondraw(){background(bgColor);textSize(14);fill(fgColor);text('WCAG 2.1',10,25);text(nf(contrast.WCAG21.value,0,2),10,40);text('APCA',10,70);text(nf(contrast.APCA.value,0,2),10,85);}

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/p5@2.1.0-rc.1/lib/p5.js

Here are all the updates for theupcoming2.1 milestone. This is arelease candidate (RC), which means it is not yet live on the p5.js Editor. Please help us to improve the stability of the newest version of p5.js by trying out this release candidate, and reporting bugs. The 2.1.0 minor release is now planned for release onNovember 7, 2025, unless there are bugs - then these will be fixed before release, with the release candidate available for testing for a week. Open tasks related to documentation will also be included, and suggestions to improve the docs are welcome!

• ...TypeScript integration
• ...p5.strands branchingif/else and loopingfor
• ...Addon Events API
• ...Color contrast checker, which you can use like this:

letbgColor,fg1Color,fg2Color,msg1,msg2;functionsetup(){createCanvas(100,100);bgColor=color(0);fg1Color=color(100);fg2Color=color(220);if(bgColor.contrast(fg1Color)){msg1='good';}else{msg1='bad';}if(bgColor.contrast(fg2Color)){msg2='good';}else{msg2='bad';}describe('A black canvas with a faint grey word saying "bad" at the top left and a brighter light grey word saying "good" in the middle of the canvas.');}functiondraw(){background(bgColor);textSize(18);fill(fg1Color);text(msg1,10,30);fill(fg2Color);text(msg2,10,60);}

oneColor.contrast(anotherColor) checks the contrast between two colors. This method returns a boolean value to indicate if the two color has enough contrast.true means that the colors has enough contrast to be used as background color and body text color.false means there is not enough contrast.

A second argument can be passed to the method,options , which defines the algorithm to be used. The algorithms currently supported are WCAG 2.1 ('WCAG21') or APCA ('APCA'). The default is WCAG 2.1. If a value of'all' is passed to theoptions argument, an object containing more details is returned. The details object will include the calculated contrast value of the colors and different passing criteria.

letbgColor,fgColor,contrast;functionsetup(){createCanvas(100,100);bgColor=color(0);fgColor=color(200);contrast=bgColor.contrast(fgColor,'all');describe('A black canvas with four short lines of grey text that respectively says: "WCAG 2.1", "12.55", "APCA", and "-73.30".');}functiondraw(){background(bgColor);textSize(14);fill(fgColor);text('WCAG 2.1',10,25);text(nf(contrast.WCAG21.value,0,2),10,40);text('APCA',10,70);text(nf(contrast.APCA.value,0,2),10,85);}

For more details about color contrast, you can check outthis page from color.js, and theWebAIM color contrast checker.
