Project Proposal
My proposed project will update the p5.js tutorials as well as the elements in the p5.js reference section of the website. Currently some of the reference pages come with a small visual element to help exemplify the use of the function. However, there is no alt text for these visual elements. Moreover, some tutorials have screenshots of the p5.js software but do not have alt text describing these photos either. By adding alt text to photos used in both the reference pages and in the current p5.js tutorials under “learn,” p5.js would become more accessible to visually impaired viewers. Furthermore, I think it would also make tutorials and references more comprehensive to all viewers. If there are confusions about what a p5.js function does, the alt text describing the image included would be useful for people who are learning p5.js.
