P5.js: Example for createVector() is very confusing.

[hellonearthis]

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

• [X] Math

Feature enhancement details:

The example used to explain the createVector() is confusing and needs another simpler example that creates a vector using x y x like the example in p5.vector

Hey @hellonearthis can I work on this?

[stalgiag]

Good catch @hellonearthis ! The WebGL example is missing a call to a suitable material so you can't see what is happening. But more importantly, I think this doesn't need to be GL at all.

You are welcome to work on it @aajaggi . I would follow @hellonearthis 's advice and make this a simple example similar (but not identical) to the class example. Thanks!

@stalgiag can i work on this issue

[stalgiag]

@devashish1099 when there is already someone assigned to an issue it is best to give them a chance to work on it. If there has been no activity from @aajaggi after 1 month, then you should @ them directly to ask whether they would still like to work on the issue.

@stalgiag Am beginner to this stuff...so to test this out I updated it with code provided in #4301 .So can I initiate a pull request

[stalgiag]

@DivyamAhuja as I said above, if someone is assigned to an issue then it is important to give them a chance to complete the task. @aajaggi is assigned to the issue. If after 1 month, @aajaggi has not made any work on the task, you can @ them to check to see if they still want to work on the issue.

[hellonearthis]

Anyone should be aloud to work on this and the best result should be
accepted into the repository.
It seems odd to discourage someone from trying.

@hellonearthis the goal for the repo is to cultivate a culture that makes people feel comfortable trying to submit contributions when they haven't already. If someone asked to give the issue a try and was assigned through first-come-first-serve then it makes sense to give them a chance to work on it without other pull requests overriding them or intimidating them.

In critical situations, it might make sense to let anyone submit a solution quickly and accept the best one but in cases like this where the issue isn't critical, is beginner-friendly, and a new contributor asked to try it out, we should give them a generous window with no pressure so they feel comfortable trying to submit something. The goal is to avoid creating a competitive atmosphere on the repo. The repo is itself an opportunity for learning.

If you feel that this isn't a good approach and would like to suggest something different, we are discussing similar topics over on #4321

@aajaggi, @hellonearthis Is anyone even working on this ?

[DivyamAhuja]

@fenilgandhi well I was working on this one but as @aajaggi was assigned so I decided to wait for a month and see

[fenilgandhi]

Cool, @DivyamAhuja since you were already working on it, you do it.

[stalgiag]

Thanks for the patience everyone!

@aajaggi it has been roughly a month. Let me know if you want to keep working on this. No pressure! If we don't hear from you in 24 hours then we will let @DivyamAhuja give it a try. Feel free to @ me with any questions.
