Actual Behavior

The “Getting Started with Node.js” tutorial is still using p5.js 1.x patterns (e.g. preload(), old APIs, external sketches locked to 1.x). Legacy p5.js 1.x APIs (e.g. old shape-drawing signatures) remain in the code samples. Several external Web Editor sketches are locked to p5.js 1.x and won’t run under 2.x.

Expected Behavior

Since p5.js 2.0 has removed preload() and other legacy methods in favor of async/await and updated several APIs, we need to refresh this tutorial so it only uses supported 2.x functionality. Every linked sketch should has been forked (or updated) to use p5.js 2.x so examples execute correctly.

Thanks for spotting this! In this one, I believe the only external code examples is https://github.com/MsQCompSci/melodyAppSetup so this could potentially be forked for a 2.0 version? Is there other external code in this?

@perminder-17 I saw the outdated code blocks which need to be updated to match v2.x syntax. Not sure which would be faster, forking the Melody app repo or submitting a pull request on the original repository ?

@ksen0
I'd love to work on this at the earliest convenience.

Hi @prjctimg so sorry I wasn't able to assign this to you? Are you still interested in working on it?

Btw @NalinDalal has already opend up a PR? is it fine if you review his work and request changes?
