Show HN: Art Coding Lab – Learn Creative Coding Through Micro Challenges
artcodinglab.comI’m building Art Coding Lab - a step-by-step learning path for creative coding.
The idea is simple: Start with the very basics: coordinates, circles, variables, loops.
Then slowly grow into: geometry, animation, trigonometry, generative systems and visual art.
Not preset effects. Not random YouTube tutorials. Not "copy this cool sketch and maybe understand it later".
I want it to feel like one long guided adventure - made from small micro challenges where you write code, press play, see what happens, and keep building.
It uses p5.js / JavaScript, but the focus is not learn syntax for the sake of syntax.
The focus is learn code by making visual things.
Right now I have a prelaunch page with a few free lessons and a small live demo.
You can try 3 free lessons, see the demo, and join the prelaunch list: artcodinglab.com
I’d love feedback from people who have always wanted to try creative coding but never really knew where to start. Would love to hear if anyone made it through the first lessons and whether the micro-challenge format feels engaging.
