P5JS makes it very easy to start playing around with.

Author here. P5JS is great and I've used it in the past. However you can get pretty far with just VanillaJS. Here's the source code to the ASCII Clouds tool, it's almost all plain JS.

So cool. Thanks for sharing the source! A few years back I made a p5.js ASCII Cloud sketch using the extended ASCII block chars.

For those curious what a stripped-down version of noise-based clouds would look like, it's only 50 lines of js: https://editor.p5js.org/stungeye/sketches/LPdeHgz9B
