Two tabs. One for GUI controls, and other for rendering.

Increasing Access

This will allow having a nice rendering allowing for realTime modifications

Feature request details

Perhaps a two tab system with OSC communication between them (opening the same project in two tabs?)

The possibility of making this with a local server could be great. Having two canvases or something like that.

Thanks for raising this! Do you have a more detailed idea of what this might look like, or examples on other platforms?

Hello,

Perhaps like MaxMSP. In there you can have as many windows as you like, and they communicate each other with 'send' and 'receive' objects. I'm guessing OSC connection may be possible. The goal of this is having real time processing of visual data while rendering images for viewers. Also I'm thinking of working with MIDI (as in WebMidi.js), and could be ported to my cellphone with OSC.

Ok, so I came with a solution. Perhaps it could be implemented in another version.

I found a broadcastChannel function that sends messages or almost anything to another child tab. https://editor.p5js.org/patricioTics/sketches/NRBuOT6xH

I also found another implementation in the Coding Train's Showcase but it is too advanced for me. https://github.com/jnafolayan/sandfall/blob/main/js/containers.js

Which is best? If it is the second one, I'll need some sort of tutorial please.

Thanks
