Modify legacy web editor examples to include the old library

[gohai]

Hi 👋,

I noticed that the linked object detection example on the "old" (legacy) documentation website wasn't running, as it was including ml5@latest rather than the versioned one.

Not sure how much use there is to keep those examples operational, but since the fix is very straightforward, I am thinking that it might be worth the hassle. (Happy to take this on if someone can facilitate my access to the ml5 user on the p5 web editor.)

Thanks!

Thanks for catching this @gohai! @ziyuan-linn can we manually fix old examples or will this conflict with the automated process of updating examples? @gohai I can DM you the web editor credentials.

Manually fixing old examples should not conflict with the automated process! The automated script only looks for matching sketch names and the old examples are not touched.

Hi @gohai, thanks for the heads up on this today! As I manage the https://github.com/ml5js/ml5-archive-docs repo, I have changed all the related tutorial content to use the fixed version ml5@0.12.2. I do realize there are a lot of sketches in the web editor are still using ml5@latest and manually fixing each of them will be hard to do.

I am still working on the scripts to update them with automation and will need a few test runs. Can I get back to you in the next two days? I will email you about my progress and my goal is to get it done ASAP. If there is a specific example you want to change now, please do so as well!

I’ve just ran the update scripts, and now, most of the old ml5 examples available in the web editor should be using ml5@0.12.2 :D

Please let me know if there are any issues!
