- See How to write code on this site.
- When coding, see the "Docs" menu for all the documentation you need.
- The "P5" graphics library is probably most suitable for beginners. More experienced programmers may prefer to skip P5 and use the "Three.js" graphics library (below).
- To get started with P5, work through the P5 Starter Tutorial. This shows you how coding on this site works with P5. This does not assume you have ever written a program.
- The tutorial looks at coding the following World:

- You can learn in depth how to program in JavaScript in P5 by doing the course: Foundations of Programming in JavaScript. This does not assume you have ever written a program.
- When you have done that, you can do the more advanced WebGL course (JavaScript 3D graphics in P5).
- When coding, use the P5 reference material.
- When you are finished these courses, you will be able to make Worlds like the following:

- There is not yet on this site a full course in programming in Three.js.
- You are directed to the Three.js reference material.
- There are plans to partner with the book 3D Game Programming for Kids. You can code all the examples in this book on Ancient Brain. Here are two examples from the book:
