Acknowledgements
This plugin is similar to Mark Uraine’s p5.js block, and is in fact reverse engineered from it, although very little of the actual code is reused (see mapk/p5js-block). I was prompted to develop this plugin due to encountering bugs, lack of display options, and mostly the lack of updates and support for this original plugin. I feel like it should be easier to insert p5.js artworks into WordPress websites and blogs, and this is my contribution to it (although it may be buggy, I try my best. Feel free to ask in the support forum, or open an issue or a pull request on Github).
This project uses the p5.js library version 1.7.0, which is free software under the GPL License. Currently, this plugin does not include the p5.sound.js libraries.
