# Creative Coding ✨
A collection of small, interactive web experiments built with **Astro** — exploring calm design, motion, and creativity through code.
Each project is lightweight, self-contained, and designed to encourage curiosity or reflection rather than competition or distraction.
---
## 🎨 Overview
This site brings together a series of **creative coding sketches**, each one exploring how simple shapes, motion, and interaction can influence mood.
Some projects are playful; others are quiet or meditative. All are built for the browser using minimal dependencies, primarily **p5.js** and **vanilla JavaScript**.
It’s part of an ongoing exploration into what I call *mindful code* — creating interactive pieces that help people pause, breathe, and feel more connected while waiting, learning, or simply passing time.
---
## 🧠 Built With
- [Astro](https://astro.build) – fast static site builder for modern web projects
- [p5.js](https://p5js.org) – creative coding library for generative art and motion
- HTML, CSS, and a touch of JavaScript
- Optional: Tailwind CSS or custom utilities for layout and typography (depending on version)

## 🕹 Featured Projects
| Project | Description |
|----------|--------------|
| **Mindful Circles** | Gentle motion-based sketch where floating circles attract and repel — built to explore calm and focus through physics and motion. |
| **Animal Catcher** | A cheerful tap game for toddlers that uses emojis as simple, responsive “animals” to catch. Perfect for waiting rooms. |
| **Tap to Calm** | A single-file mindful tool. Tap drifting orbs to release light and move through calm “breath levels.” Built entirely within one HTML file using p5.js. |
Each project is available as a standalone demo or embedded within the Astro site.

🧭 Vision
Creative coding is where art and logic meet. This project exists as a digital playground — a place to explore ideas that might not fit neatly into “apps” or “tools,” but still invite interaction, mindfulness, or curiosity.
Future updates will expand this into a living collection of sketches and micro-games that can be embedded or reimagined as teaching tools.

## 🚀 Project Structure
Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
```text
/
├── public/
├── src/
│ └── pages/
│ └── index.astro
└── package.json
```
Astro looks for `.astro` or `.md` files in the `src/pages/` directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
There's nothing special about `src/components/`, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components.
Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
## 🧞 Commands
All commands are run from the root of the project, from a terminal:
| Command | Action |
| :------------------------ | :----------------------------------------------- |
| `npm install` | Installs dependencies |
| `npm run dev` | Starts local dev server at `localhost:4321` |
| `npm run build` | Build your production site to `./dist/` |
| `npm run preview` | Preview your build locally, before deploying |
| `npm run astro ...` | Run CLI commands like `astro add`, `astro check` |
| `npm run astro -- --help` | Get help using the Astro CLI |
