NOC in ES6

[Mr-Darfler]

I'm planning on using NOC as the basis for a High School CS class. It's great to see that the whole code has been ported over to p5.js from Processing, but it would be great to take it a step further and use ES6. I believe that this would be especially helpful when doing inheritance as ES6 makes it much easier to understand. I have already started to re-write some of the code on my own fork of this repo, but it would be nice to collaborate so that the code has the best chance of being merged into the main branch, or become it's own repo along side NOC, and NOC-p5.js

#71 As an example of where I'm at right now with transpiling to ES6

[shiffman]

Thanks, yes, it's my intention to switch everything over to ES6, within reason, still remaining beginner-friendly. Using classes and let are definites for sure. My intro to JS tutorials on YouTube are now using classes and ES6, see 6.1.

I'll review #71 and happy to accept pull requests if I don't get to this first!

Noting that #67 ad #68 are in progress too.

I think this can be closed now but @jasongao97 let's see if any examples are still written without ES6 classes and update them!

Hi, @shiffman!
I notice some files with var, so I changed to use let instead and opened this PR #125

[shiffman]

Thank you @ferreira-mariana! I will go ahead and merge this! Appreciate your help so much! This repo is actually out of date and may soon be deprecated. I have to figure out the best way to maintain the examples going forward. As of now, you can find them all in the p5 web editor and linked from the work-in-progress new website!
