The Coding Train

A creative-coding channel built around p5.js and similar tools. Its "Coding Challenges" build small pieces on fractals, prime spirals, physics simulations and other mathematical and natural phenomena from scratch, on camera. By the same author as The Nature of Code.

Tool / Software Revisited

Processing

A flexible software sketchbook and language for learning to code within the visual arts. Started in 2001 by Casey Reas and Ben Fry and now stewarded by the Processing Foundation, it remains a classic entry point to generative art.

Sebastian Lague

Under the banner "Coding Adventures", this channel implements fluid simulation, ray tracing, terrain and planet generation and more from scratch. You see how physics and algorithms turn into images step by step, which makes the techniques easy to adopt.
