alpha()
The alpha() function in p5.js allows you to control the transparency of colors, adding depth and dimension to your visuals. By adjusting the alpha value, creative coders can layer shapes and colors, creating effects like fading, ghosting, or overlays. For instance, when designing an interactive piece, you might want to gradually reveal hidden elements or create a soft blending effect between colors, enhancing the overall visual experience.
