How to create a smooth transition p5.js with key function?

I'm trying to achieve that, everytime you type a different letter key, the lines of the letters 'merge' into eachother instead of just 'jumping' to the next letter like it's doing now. I'm looking into the lerp() function but i'm not sure how to apply this to my code. Can someone help me into the right direction? This is what i have untill now:
var redtown;
var fontSize = 500;
var myArray;
var r = 3;
function preload(){
redtown = loadFont('redtown.otf');
}
function setup(){
createCanvas(windowWidth,windowHeight);
textFont(redtown);
textSize(fontSize);
}
function draw(){
background(0);
myArray = redtown.textToPoints(key, width/2, 500, fontSize, {
sampleFactor:0.5
});
// text(key, width/2, height/2 );
for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
// ellipse(myArray[i].x, myArray[i].y, 10, 10)
push();
translate(myArray[i].x, myArray[i].y);
rotate(r);
r++;
stroke(255);
strokeWeight(1);
line(-10,-10,10,10,10);
frameRate(17);
pop();
}
}

Here is a snippet that transitions from one character to another by using textToPoints to get the points from the last two keys that have been pressed and then slides each point in the old character to its position in the new character.
It uses this formula to get the x and y positions of points along a line from the point in the old character to the point in the new character.
x = (1-t)*x+t*nextX;
y = (1-t)*y+t*nextY;
It also uses the spinning lines idea from the question to give the points some motion although it pins the line size to a constant.
rotate(r+=0.1);
line(-1,-1,1,1);
You can see it in action here Fonts Transition
var myFont;
var fontSize = 160;
var fontPoints =[];
var previousFontPoints = [];
var r = 0;
var oldKey = ' ';
function preload(){
myFont = loadFont('inconsolata.otf');
}
function setup(){
createCanvas(500, 500);
textFont(myFont);
textSize(fontSize);
frameRate(30);
stroke(255);
strokeWeight(1);
background(0);
}
function draw(){
if (oldKey != key){
previousFontPoints =
myFont.textToPoints(oldKey, width/10, height/2, fontSize, {
sampleFactor:1
});
oldKey = key;
fontPoints = myFont.textToPoints(key, width/10, height/2, fontSize, {
sampleFactor:1
});
t = 0.025;
}
t += .01;
if (fontPoints.length > 0 && t< 1.0){
background(0);
for (i = 0; i < fontPoints.length; i++){
let x = 0;
let y = 0;
// if we don't have enought points we will just float in from 0,0
let nextX = 0;
let nextY = 0;
push();
if (previousFontPoints.length > i){
x = previousFontPoints[i].x;
y = previousFontPoints[i].y;
// in case the new array does not have enough points
nextX = x;
nextY = y;
}
if (fontPoints.length > i){
nextX = fontPoints[i].x;
nextY = fontPoints[i].y;
}
x = (1-t)*x+t*nextX;
y = (1-t)*y+t*nextY;
translate(x, y);
rotate(r+=0.1);

(toggle) function is not defined

I'm trying to use a button to toggle the audio for a P5 oscillator on and off (because as I understand it, WebAudio API stuff requires an interaction in browsers now for audio to play).
Before the setup I have:
var button;
In the function setup I have:
button = createButton("audio on/off");
button.mousePressed(toggle);
button.position(32, 180);
In function toggle I have:
if (!playing()) {
osc.start();
//playing = true; } else {
osc.stop();
//playing = false; }
It keeps giving me the error message
Uncaught ReferenceError: toggle is not defined (sketch: line 45)"
Why do I keep getting this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The full sketch.js code is:
var button;
var stepX;
var stepY;
let osc;
function setup() {
createCanvas(displayWidth, displayHeight);
noCursor();
noStroke();
colorMode(HSB, width, height, 100);
reverb = new p5.Reverb();
delay = new p5.Delay();
osc = new p5.Oscillator();
osc.setType('sine');
reverb.process(osc, 5, 5);
osc.start();
// delay.process() accepts 4 parameters:
// source, delayTime, feedback, filter frequency
// play with these numbers!!
delay.process(osc, 0.6, 0.3, 1000);
// play the noise with an envelope,
// a series of fades ( time / value pairs )
var t = 10
let text = createP("s-p-e-c-t-r-u-m");
text.position(30, 30);

}
function draw() {
let pitch = map(mouseX, 0, width, 30, 3000);
let volume = map(mouseY, 0, height, 1, 0);
background(200);
osc.freq(pitch);
osc.amp(volume);
stepX = mouseX + 2;
stepY = mouseY + 2;
for (var gridY = 0; gridY < height; gridY += stepY) {
for(var gridX = 0; gridX < width; gridX += stepX) {
fill(gridX, height - gridY, 100);
rect(gridX, gridY, stepX, stepY);
}
}
function toggle() {
if (!playing) {
osc.start();
playing = true;
} else {
osc.stop();
playing = false;
}
}
}

toggle is declared in scope of draw:
function draw() {
// [...]
function toggle() {
// [...]
}
}
Move it out of draw, top solve the issue:
function draw() {
// [...]
}
function toggle() {
// [...]
}
See the example:

Try assigning your functions to variables. Without doing that all your functions will be hoisted to the top of the file at run time. Also make sure you declare toggle before you use it!

Canvas rotation - fixed background, moving foreground

What I have tried
The translate(W/2, H/2) should place the context at the center of the page, then this.ctx.rotate(-Math.PI/(180)) should rotate it one degree at a time. This is the part that is not working.
Using save()and restore() is the proper way to keep some parts of an animation static while others move. I placed the save and restore in different parts of the code to no avail. There are one of two types of result : Either a new entirely static image is produced, or some erratic animation happens (in the same vein of where it is now).

Here is the changed pen: http://codepen.io/samcarlinone/pen/LRwqNg
You needed a couple of changes:

var ctx = c.getContext('2d');
var W = c.width = window.innerWidth;

this.draw = function() {
this.ctx.beginPath();
this.ctx.lineWidth = .1;
this.ctx.strokeStlye = this.color;
this.ctx.moveTo(this.startX, this.startY);
this.ctx.lineTo(this.endX, this.endY);
this.ctx.closePath();
this.ctx.stroke();
}
this.update = function() {
//for fun
if (this.direction == 1) {
this.ctx.translate(W/2, H/2);
this.ctx.rotate(angle);
this.ctx.translate(-W/2, -H/2);
}
}//this.update()
}//Line();
objects=[];
function initLines() {
for (var i =0; i < 200; i++) {
var line = new Line();
line.direction = (i % 2);
if (line.direction == 0) {
line.startX = 0;
line.startY = -H + i * H/100;
line.endX = W + line.startX;
line.endY = H + line.startY;
}
if (line.direction == 1) {
line.startX = 0;
line.startY = H - i * H/100;
line.endX = W - line.startX;
line.endY = H - line.startY;
}
objects.push(line);
line.draw();
}
}
initLines();
function render(c) {
c.clearRect(0, 0, W, H);
for (var i = 0; i < objects.length; i++)
{
ctx.save();
objects[i].update();
objects[i].draw();
ctx.restore();
}
}
function loop() {
render(ctx);
window.requestAnimationFrame(loop);
angle += Math.PI/360;
}
loop();
First I added a variable to keep track of rotation and increment it in the loop
Second I save and restore for each individual line, alternatively if all lines were going to perform the same transformation you could move that code before and after the drawing loop
Third to get the desired affect I translate so the center point is in the middle of the screen, then I rotate so that the lines are rotated, then I translate back because all the lines have coordinates on the interval [0, H]. Instead of translating back before drawing another option would be to use coordinates on the interval [-(H/2), (H/2)] etc.

How to create a camera view in canvas that will follow a players rotation and rotation?

I'm trying to create a game in canvas with javascript where you control a spaceship and have it so that the canvas will translate and rotate to make it appear like the spaceship is staying stationary and not rotating.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Origin
When you need to rotate something in canvas it will always rotate around origin, or center for the grid if you like where the x and y axis crosses.
You may find my answer here useful as well
By default the origin is in the top left corner at (0, 0) in the bitmap.
So in order to rotate content around a (x,y) point the origin must first be translated to that point, then rotated and finally (and usually) translated back. Now things can be drawn in the normal order and they will all be drawn rotated relative to that rotation point:
ctx.translate(rotateCenterX, rotateCenterY);
ctx.rotate(angleInRadians);
ctx.translate(-rotateCenterX, -rotateCenterY);
Absolute angles and positions
Sometimes it's easier to keep track if an absolute angle is used rather than using an angle that you accumulate over time.
translate(), transform(), rotate() etc. are accumulative methods; they add to the previous transform. We can set absolute transforms using setTransform() (the last two arguments are for translation):
ctx.setTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, rotateCenterX, rotateCenterY); // absolute
ctx.rotate(absoluteAngleInRadians);
ctx.translate(-rotateCenterX, -rotateCenterY);
The rotateCenterX/Y will represent the position of the ship which is drawn untransformed. Also here absolute transforms can be a better choice as you can do the rotation using absolute angles, draw background, reset transformations and then draw in the ship at rotateCenterX/Y:
ctx.setTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, rotateCenterX, rotateCenterY);
ctx.rotate(absoluteAngleInRadians);
ctx.translate(-rotateCenterX, -rotateCenterY);
// update scene/background etc.
ctx.setTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0); // reset transforms
ctx.drawImage(ship, rotateCenterX, rotateCenterY);
(Depending on orders of things you could replace the first line here with just translate() as the transforms are reset later, see demo for example).
This allows you to move the ship around without worrying about current transforms, when a rotation is needed use the ship's current position as center for translation and rotation.
And a final note: the angle you would use for rotation would of course be the counter-angle that should be represented (ie. ctx.rotate(-angle);).
Space demo ("random" movements and rotations)
The red "meteors" are dropping in one direction (from top), but as the ship "navigates" around they will change direction relative to our top view angle. Camera will be fixed on the ship's position.
(ignore the messy part - it's just for the demo setup, and I hate scrollbars... focus on the center part :) )
var img = new Image();
img.onload = function() {
var ctx = document.querySelector("canvas").getContext("2d"),
w = 600, h = 400, meteors = [], count = 35, i = 0, x = w * 0.5, y, a = 0, a2 = 0;
ctx.canvas.width = w; ctx.canvas.height = h; ctx.fillStyle = "#555";
while(i++ < count) meteors.push(new Meteor());
(function loop() {
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, w, h);
y = h * 0.5 + 30 + Math.sin((a+=0.01) % Math.PI*2) * 60; // ship's y and origin's y
// translate to center of ship, rotate, translate back, render bg, reset, draw ship
ctx.translate(x, y); // translate to origin
ctx.rotate(Math.sin((a2+=0.005) % Math.PI) - Math.PI*0.25); // rotate some angle
ctx.translate(-x, -y); // translate back
ctx.beginPath(); // render some moving meteors for the demo
for(var i = 0; i < count; i++) meteors[i].update(ctx); ctx.fill();
ctx.setTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0); // reset transforms
ctx.drawImage(img, x - 32, y); // draw ship as normal
requestAnimationFrame(loop); // loop animation
})();
};
function Meteor() { // just some moving object..
var size = 5 + 35 * Math.random(), x = Math.random() * 600, y = -200;
this.update = function(ctx) {
ctx.moveTo(x + size, y); ctx.arc(x, y, size, 0, 6.28);
y += size * 0.5; if (y > 600) y = -200;
};

jQuery no longer blindly copies all properties of Event objects from the real event object to the one that jQuery provides, so these lines:
var mouseX = e.layerX || 0;
var mouseY = e.layerY || 0;
...are failing (always returning 0 for both mouseX and mouseY) in mousedown and mousemove handlers, because the jQuery event object doesn't have layerX and layerY.
jQuery makes the original event object available as originalEvent, though, so this fixes it:
var mouseX = e.originalEvent.layerX || 0;
var mouseY = e.originalEvent.layerY || 0;

Or to be compatible with multiple versions:
var mouseX = e.layerX || e.originalEvent.layerX || 0;
var mouseY = e.layerY || e.originalEvent.layerY || 0;

Change:
e.layerX
e.layerY
to
e.originalEvent.layerX
e.originalEvent.layerY
And that work :)
