Function: detectP5Version()

detectP5Version(p): string

Defined in: utils/utils.ts:19

Detects the p5.js version from various possible sources across different environments.

This function tries multiple strategies to detect the p5.js version, which is necessary because different p5.js environments (P5LIVE, flok.cc, standalone, etc.) may expose the version property in different ways.

Returns​

The detected p5.js version string, or '1.0.0' as a safe fallback
