Live coding

Live coding is like playing a game where you type on a computer and something cool happens on the screen! Just like a musician plays an instrument to make music, a live coder plays code to make visuals or sound. It's like building a story in real-time by writing lines of code that change how a program or music sounds and/or looks.

Imagine you are drawing a picture in your coloring book with your crayons. Now imagine you erase the picture and start again, but this time, you're trying out different colors, shapes, and patterns until you get the best version of your picture. Live coding is like painting your picture, except you're using a computer and writing code to make something that moves or makes sounds. You don't know exactly what you'll get when you start, but you'll make changes to the code until it ends up looking or sounding cool.

Live coding can be used in many ways. People use it to create music, visual art, and even animations for movies or video games. You can use it to create and perform live shows or to build a website that changes every time someone visits it. It's like having a magic power that can create anything you can imagine on a screen or sound system.
