mouseDragged()
The `mouseDragged()` function in p5.js allows you to detect when the mouse is being moved while a mouse button is pressed. Creative coders use this feature to create interactive experiences where users can manipulate visuals on the canvas, such as drawing, dragging shapes, or creating dynamic artwork. For instance, imagine a drawing application where users can paint on the canvas simply by moving their mouse while holding down the button.
