Description
NOTE: This feature request was imported from P5.js
The P5.js editor does not currently support "static" mode which allows sketches that do not contain functions setup() and draw() to work.
Static mode is an interesting feature when introducing students to Processing. I wonder if it would even be possible to make it work but I'd be happy to give it a try if this is something others believe would be a benefit.
I personally feel it makes many students feel like it is an empowering feature tof Processing especially for beginners, as it allows to build confidence early on. I usually begin my classes with an empty sketch and show them that this still produces a gray-background canvas, and we build from there.
