In plain English

This repository is an archived snapshot of the first version of the Coding Train website. The Coding Train is an educational YouTube channel focused on creative coding, programming, and interactive art, run by Daniel Shiffman. The repository is no longer actively maintained. The Coding Train has moved to a new website and a new GitHub repository. This older version is kept publicly accessible through GitHub Pages for historical reference, but new content, contributions, and bug reports should go to the current site instead. While it was active, the repository held the website source code along with content corresponding to Coding Train video tutorials. Community members could contribute their own variations on projects shown in videos, which would then appear on the relevant video page. The README is brief and mostly points visitors toward the current repository and website, the YouTube channel, a Discord community, and a forum for coding questions. If you are looking for current Coding Train content, tutorials, or community contributions, the README directs you away from this archive and toward the active project.
