New Feature: Live Coding

py5 has a new feature: Live Coding. The basic idea is to have a live coding environment where you can write and modify your py5 code and see the results in real time. It is designed to support rapid prototyping of ideas and experimentation. You'll be able to write code in an editor or Jupyter Notebook and see the results in a running Sketch immediately, without having to exit a running Sketch and then start a new one.

You can read more about Live Coding on the documentation website:
