I first read about the Processing language many years ago. It was introduced as a "Flash Killer".
In the end, other factors killed Flash - but certainly not Processing...
It is the language of choice for programming the DIY Arduino board, and that has given it exposure
to a moderate audience.
In its 2.0 beta implementation, Processing has been ported from
Java Applets to JavaScript, making it more accessible for browser-based delivery. Either way, it's great for generative art and visualization projects (especially following the demise of Flash).
Circles - Move the circles by moving the mouse. Simple.. | |
Clock - Got time?. | |
Lines - Draw random lines to the edge of the screen, or until we hit another line. | |
Cosmos2 - Based on the LIFE algorithm, except rather than viewing this as a Petri Dish of tiny life forms, I see it as the Cosmos - vast and distant, but also in a state of constant change. | |
Waves - Patterns using sin waves and triangle strips. |
