# Simple mode

<figure><img src="/files/QQqMPx02QsrzsxZxrhxY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Example

![](/files/6iyRr1XOrzeyu7RLlCmr)

```python
background(frameCount%255)
drawTickAxes()
circle(400,bounce(0,height,10),20)
```

## Description

Allows the user to use p5 in the draw function only. This eliminates a lot of the confusion to do with setting up the canvas, or scope of variables.

Of course, this has its downsides - the inability to create tailored dynamic variables or change the size of the canvas are two that come to mind.
