Creagen

A general purpose library meant for creative coding.

This library tailors more to experienced programmers with a focus on good function semantics and reuse of code and concepts.

[!CAUTION] This is a highly experimental library and is very sensitive to future changes I implement a lot of algorithms here myself as a learning experience so don't expect the smoothest of performance.

Build

npm install
npm run build

Roadmap
