newbie questions
« on: Jan 2nd, 2005, 7:39pm »

Hi everyone!
 
I dont know that much about programming but the reults that I have seen from processing are very beautifull and it has inspired me to learn something new!
I have always used software for creative use like adobe after effects, blender ect and I think learning programming under processing will be a new challange!
 
Could anyone recomend a basic tutorial to start me off? Also Ive had a few goes on the beta release but Im having  problems load jpegs. Apparently these need to go into the sketchbook 'data directory'. How do I manage that?
 
thanks for the help and i look forward to contributing more to this board!

if you create a new sketch, and save it under a name like: 'mytest'
 
then you can locate this on hardisk like
processing-0069/sketchbook/default/mytest/
in the newly created folder mytest is also your data directory for this mytest.pde
here you can put your image.

hi there ..
 
here you'll find a lot of tutorials:
http://processing.org/learning/tutorials/index.html
 
... and the best way to find the data-folder of your sketch is to run "show sketch folder" from the sketch-menu of processing. this should open the folder ... if there is not data-folder, just create one. a sketch folder can look like this:
 
mysketch
   - applet
   - data
   - code
   - mysketch.pde
