Today we have our monthly (almost) Processing Frankfurt aka. NODE+CODE meetup. We have Ludwig Zeller as guest showing basil.js, a Processing-like framework for InDesign.
What it does: – command-t show/hide Tweaker, click name on the left to cycle variables – adds an interface to some top level primitive variables (int, float, color) – values are saved in between runs (check settings.xml) – save screenshot (command-s) – import processing.pdf and hit command-p to save pdf
To me this opens up a room of ideas: – tracking variables (graphs?) – a tree like structure of variables (objects are containers of variables themself) – trigger functions – show status information (fps, memory, count variables, ...)
