  | Thanks!

  | The scrolling seems like a bug that was related to recent

  | I love processing/p5 and it's very easy to learn and has a
  | vibrant community and lots of add-ons. It's also a great
  | education tool.

  | Pts is a more opinionated library because one of my personal
  | motivations was to create something that can help me think and
  | approach creative coding in conceptual ways. It's more
  | composable, and it provides the building blocks for a
  | complementary library that I'm building now. :)
