Bopa Reference

Welcome to the Bopa reference.

Bopa is a programming language with Setswana keywords that compiles to p5.js sketches. This reference documents every keyword in the language, with a live runnable example for each one.

Browse the sidebar by category, or jump straight to a few common starting points:

• setaLoeto — runs once when your sketch starts
• tshwantsha — runs every frame
• thalaKanefase — creates the drawing canvas
• kgolokwe — draws a circle
• peebeX — current mouse x position

Each example on this site is a real Bopa program. The Setswana code shown is what you can paste into the Bopa editor to run it yourself.
