Text-GPT-p5

A text to p5.js generative editor powered by GPT-4o mini ✨

1. takes plain text prompts 📝
2. makes an OpenAI GPT-4o mini call 🤖
3. converts them into p5.js code 🌸
4. displays the p5.js sketch 🖼️

It is also a sandbox environment for running p5.js (or any javascript code). You can make direct edits to the generated code, which re-runs the sketch immediately, similar to Glitch or Replit.
