tried it! I didn't realize it had physics built into it. I would LOVE to make some videos

<p>βI have found the p5play library to be an invaluable resource for introducing students to
game design and development. Our team chose to use this library for our Game Design Summer
Program due to its many customizable features, well documented resources, and easy-to-use
API which make it accessible for students of all ages and skill levels.</p>
<p>Due to the many methods and properties included in this library, students are able to quickly
bring their game visions to life with code. These games range from basic catcher games to
games with multiple levels and challenging features.</p>
<p>In addition to the library's well-documented resources, p5play offers a wealth of support and
inspiration for the students and teachers in their community. This includes their
interactive learn pages that allow students to tinker with different properties and methods
in the library, their tri-annual Game Jam event, and their Discord channel filled with many
great resources and opportunities to find support.</p>
<p>Our Girls Who Code team highly recommends this library to anyone interested in game
development. We can't wait to see all of the games our students create this summer with this
incredible library!β</p>

<p>βI added a unit centered on p5play to my Artistic Coding and Game Design curriculum as a way
to tease object oriented programming. Students quickly adapted to sprites and groups and
were beyond excited about all the interactivity built into p5play. Through games, students
were able to solidify their understanding of properties and methods without even realizing
they were learning some of the core concepts of object oriented programming.</p>
<p>My students spent time making games using the p5play library and were immensely proud of
their accomplishments. Since we have used p5play, my students are now better able to
understand classes and have even written some of their own!β</p>

<p>βI've been using variations of p5play for several years in my middle school CS class. While
it was serviceable before, it was nothing like what you've done with version 3. I LOVE it!
Even my younger students can be successful and learn basic coding concepts because they
don't really need to know all the math and physics behind the code now. Plus everything is
consistent and streamlined so new ideas make sense. Then there's your amazing new website
with so many easy to understand examples. I can send my advanced students directly to the
p5play website and they can just explore and build anything they want. Thank you so much for
all your work!β</p>

<p>βp5play has been a great addition to our curriculum. It has allowed us to explore a more
creative outlet for learning object orientated programming and has been invaluable in their
students projects for their exams.</p>
<p>Since introducing p5 and p5play we have seen an uptake of over 100% for students and are now
seeing huge benefits to students learning. I would highly recommend introducing p5 &
p5play into your curriculum. We have now developed a bespoke series of video tutorials to
allow more schools and colleges in the UK to introduce p5play to their curriculum.β</p>

<p>p5play makes Object Oriented Programming tangible. Changing the properties of game objects called
<a href="../learn/sprite.html" target="_blank">sprites</a> produces immediate visual feedback.
</p>
<p>p5play is a natural addition to <a href="https://p5js.org/" target="_blank">p5.js</a> based
curriculum, which is already popular in schools.</p>
<p>Also, since it doesn't require a bespoke game editor, students gain transferrable, text based

<p>Every EdTech company claims their "easy and fun to use" software empowers students to "realize
their creative potential", but often it's just marketing fluff.</p>
<p>If these platforms are so fun and creatively empowering, why are students only using them to
complete assignments?</p>
<p>p5play makes the art of game design more accessible, without being reductive. We believe in
rewarding students for learning the basics by enabling them to go beyond.</p>

<h2 id="what-about-scratch-π―">What about Scratch? π―</h2>
<p><a href="https://scratch.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Scratch</a> is great for students ages 8-11,
but older students have higher expectations that Scratch can't meet.</p>
<p>Scratch has no built-in physics engine. That means even something like a ball rolling down a
slope, requires a lot of math and is incredibly tedious to implement in Scratch's block based
environment.</p>
<p>Many of the featured games on the Scratch website were evidently made by adults. That can give
students false hope that they can make something similar.</p>
<p>With p5play, students don't have to write their own boilerplate code for basic functionality.
They can focus on the fun parts of game design!</p>

<h2 id="why-was-p5play-created-π¨">Why was p5play created? π¨</h2>
<p>p5play was created to definitively bridge the gap between Scratch and more complex game engines
like Unity.</p>
<p>In p5play, sprites can have <a href="../learn/sprite.html?page=1" target="_blank">physics
colliders</a> and display <a href="../learn/animation.html" target="_blank">animations</a>.
Multiple <a href="../learn/input_devices.html" target="_blank">input devices</a> are supported,
including keyboard, mouse, game controllers, and touch screens. <a href="../learn/Group.html"
target="_blank">Groups</a> enable novice programmers to harness the power of class
inheritance.</p>
<p><strong>"Only the best is good enough"</strong><br>Ole Kirk Christiansen, founder of LEGO</p>
<p>I don't believe in skimping on quality to make something "just for kids". p5play isn't merely a
stepping stone, its elegant API makes it a joy to use for all.</p>
<p>Whether you're a beginner, hobbyist, or professional developer: p5play was created for you!</p>
