描述

Increasing access

We recently implemented random() in p5.strands. The more similar functions we implement in both places, the less users will need to worry about what can or can't be used in different places.

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

  • Accessibility
  • Color
  • Core/Environment/Rendering
  • Data
  • DOM
  • Events
  • Image
  • IO
  • Math
  • Typography
  • Utilities
  • WebGL
  • Build process
  • Unit testing
  • Internationalization
  • Friendly errors
  • Other (specify if possible)

Feature enhancement details

Ideally we can use the existing random() backend, and build a wrapper over it that redistributes the uniform random numbers rather than building a separate random implementation.

研究方向
Examine the existing random() implementation in p5.strands to understand the backend. Review the p5.js Math module for the Gaussian distribution algorithm (e.g., Box Muller transform). Implement a wrapper that calls the existing random() and transforms the output to a Gaussian distribution. Ensure the function matches the API conventions of p5.strands.
