if p5 is a sketch...
« on: Feb 24th, 2003, 12:08am »

if p5 is a "sketch," what are the finished drawings?  i am very new to programming (i'm taking my first java course right now).  i was just curious.
 
thanks,

a lot of things you'll find here are just sketches. sketches in the sense that they provide a rough overview of the full software, or the "finished drawing" as you term it. finished drawings would be stuff that are full-scale softwares that exist in macroscopic form... good examples of these would be casey's tissue, golan's yellowtail and ben's valence. each of them exist in a much larger form, that can be exhibited in galleries and the like.
 
i guess this goes back to the intention behind processing. that is, as a teaching tool.

Processing supports working on sketches that develop over a few days or weeks, but the current environment is not built for working on larger "finished" projects. The sketches created in Processing provide a solid base for exectuting finished work in a more complete (complicated) development environment or language.
