Call p5.js from Go
To program something with p5.js is real fun, because it shows what happens. gop5js gives you the possibility to use p5.js together with go. You write your code in Go and you can see the results in your browser.
To install just use go get

- Create function of the type
func()
- let gop5js.Draw point to the function
- Start the gop5js server:
gop5js.Serve()
func main() {
gop5js.CanvasHeight = 400
gop5js.CanvasWidth = 400
gop5js.Draw = draw
gop5js.Serve()
}
func draw() {
gop5js.Background("127")
gop5js.Ellipse(20, 20, 30, 30)
gop5js.Rect(100, 100, 20, 20)
gop5js.Text("some text here", 20, 200)
}
That p5.js can access
func main() {
gop5js.Draw = draw
// set the FilesPath variable. That folder can be accessed from p5.js
gop5js.FilesPath = "files/"
// before you can use the image inside draw() the image needs to be
// loaded
gop5js.LoadImage("star", "star.png")
gop5js.Serve()
}
func draw() {
gop5js.Background("127")
x = x + 1.5
// access the loaded image
gop5js.Image("star", 50, 50, 150, 150)
}
