Potential alt names: "include" "depedencies" - scripts is also totally ok! But I'm thinking how to distinguish the "script.js" concept which usually refers to the sketch from external includes

I think includes/dependencies also work as names, although I'm going to refactor this separately I think -- there's an existing scripts prop in the CodeFrame component that I'd want to change to match, and I'd want to give that a little more time to to thoroughly test in the different spots it's used.

Maybe makes sense to put the existing p5.strands tut in the 2.0 category too? I'm also working on the transition guide for this hypothetical/forthcoming category

| A common theme in old postcards is to have large block letters with local imagery showing through. Here's [an example of such a postcard](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Greetings_from_St._Paul,_Minnesota_postcard.jpg) from 1937: | ||

Minor optional suggestion - alt text <=100 chars: "Postcard with "Greetings from St. Paul, Minnesota" in big letters with local buildings inside them." This is not a hard and fast rule but a UX convention suggested by web accessibility stewards

| We've got a nice looking postcard already! But since this isn't going to be a physical postcard--we're going to put it on a website--we want viewers who use screen readers to be able to tell what's on the canvas. | ||
|
|
||
| To do so, we can use `describe()` in setup, and write a short, descriptive string about what we've drawn. |

Minor/optional - thanks for including this! Could also link to https://p5js.org/tutorials/writing-accessible-canvas-descriptions/ for more info?

| We have a small canvas here, what would you do if you wanted to get a high-res image saved? | ||
|
|
||
| Well, first, I'll add `setAttributes({ antialias: true })` after the `createCanvas` line to make sure our edges are nice and smooth. |

Minor/optional: consider switching this sectionand the previous? Most tutorials end in a full copy-able sketch that includes all functionality

Maybe this PR should also remove this one, for the time being

I've added a new tutorial for our upcoming SIGGRAPH Labs workshop!
I've added it to a new 2.0 category for now, for content new in 2.0 from 1.x. It's a little weird with just one thing for now, but this is also under the assumption that we'll want to put something in here about migrating from 1.x, and maybe also @ksen0's quilting tutorial too.
This also includes some updates to our UI components:
hideOffscreenoption that uses a live JS embed.Especially as the sketch gets long near the end, embedding the whole thing every time feels a little heavy, but I also want checkpoints where you can see the full sketch source code, so I've left them in for now. In the future it might be nice to have a component that highlights just a subset of the code that could then be expanded to show the whole thing, but that would take a little too much time for this tutorial for now.
