Laser Writing

Project Description

Initial Prompt

I want to build an app in p5.js that simulates a laser writing on a piece of paper. There should be a cursor writing each letter one by one. Each letter would produce smoke like it's burned on paper. Separately, I asked Claude 4.0: Generate 100 sentences that a software engineer will find amusing. Explore jokes, paradoxes, surprising fact, fun facts and more categories. Output a plain list of sentences, one after the other on new lines.

Lessons Learned

• What worked: I like the smoke right away and the orange letter is a nice touch that I did not explicitly ask for. Good job Gemini!
• What needed help: I had to prompt several times to make the justification work. Initially AI did not think that truncating the words was a bed idea. Then, justification was taken too literally and short text would expand to fill the space. I had to prompt again to make it work.
