ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

JavaScript graphics library

JavaScript Graphics Library (JGL) is like a big box full of colorful Lego blocks that you can use to build amazing things. But instead of blocks, it has tools that can help you make drawings, animations, and games on a website.

This box has a special type of tools that you can use to create shapes like circles, squares, and triangles, and color them with any color you want. You can also use tools to draw lines, curves, and even complex shapes by combining different blocks.

It also has a magic tool that can make things move on your website. You can make animations, like a bouncing ball or a moving car, and you can also make interactive games where you can click, press or drag things around.

But, like with Lego blocks, you need to learn how to use each tool to create what you want. You need to know what each tool does, how to mix them, and how to write instructions that tell the computer what to do with all these tools.

There are many different types of boxes with JGL tools that you can choose from, like p5.js, three.js, and D3.js, among others. Each box has different tools, but they all help you create amazing things with graphics, color, and animation.
