A bunch of cursors

Cursors
A browser game made in HTML5

This is Cursors! A bunch of flocking cursors. It was built as a creative coding challenge I put on myself. 

Lately, I've been really interested in Creative Coding. Creative coding is exploring programming/coding for artistic purposes. Rather than creating something that is functional/practical computer program, it is more for creating visual art and design.

There are a bunch of different ways to get started with creative coding. Anything that can build code can be used to do creative coding. There are standalone software that also allows you to do it more comfortably. A popular choice is using Processing (https://processing.org/), processing is a flexible software sketchbook written in Java. Another one is P5.js which is a a derived version of processing and uses Javascript.

Cursor was created using p5.js as I was more familiar with Javascript and web development.
