Adding .is_looping

[ulgens]

I was doing some discovery work around loop - no_loop and found about https://p5js.org/reference/p5/isLooping/ Trying to use that method with py5, Sketch.is_looping doesn't exist but Sketch._instance.isLooping() exists and works.

Coming from

py5generator/py5-resources/data/sketch.csv

Line 350 in e73ce23

is_looping,isLooping,,method,,,SKIP,methods that are not part of the processing framework

The doc says methods that are not part of the processing framework for it and it's skipped, but I'm missing why. First I thought this was part of p5 but not Processing, and py5 trying to stay true to Processing, but now seeing it already exists and usable under processing.core.PApplet.isLooping, I'm confused about the table and why the implementation was skipped.

Hi @ulgens ! Thank you for pointing this out.

I certainly can add an .is_looping() method, or better yet, I'll make it a property with .is_looping.

When I first built py5 I had to go through all of PApplet's public methods and make decisions about what to include. There isn't an isLooping() method documented in the Processing Reference Documentation so that might be way I left it out. In any case, adding it is fairly straightforward. The hardest part is writing the documentation!

+1 for the property.

In any case, adding it is fairly straightforward. The hardest part is writing the documentation!

Created an issue on Processing website's repo: processing/processing-website#703

Ooops, sorry about that! I guess that's what happens when tired maintainers try to reply to github messages late at night! I must have tried to hit the Quote Reply button and somehow hit the Edit button instead. What a strange mistake to make!
