Quick start to build your own generative art / visualization / interactive demo using Pts.js. Supports javascript and typescript.

pts-starter-kit

This is a sample app to help you get started with Pts.js. Pts supports both javascript (.js) and typescript (.ts). Here we use esbuild to give you smaller file size at faster build speed — This demo is about ~86kb minified and ~26kb gzipped.

If you prefer to use Pts without build steps, you can also link it directly using a CDN like cndjs or unpkg. For example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/pts/dist/pts.min.js"></script>

And you can also try out Pts without any setup using the live demo editor.

Pts is a library for visualizaton and creative coding. Learn more at https://ptsjs.org.
