New n have few Questions
Mar 21st, 2007, 2:42am  
Hi,

I was looking at some of the examples given. they seem amazing.
i have few Q's.

Is this something like Flash Macromedia (I mean i wanna make a  website kind of thing which opens up in full screen).

also are there api's available which help me control mouse movement from external application. ( a C program which is on the same computer).

Thanks and Regards
Viral

Hello Viral

Not to disappoint you but I wouldn't recommend building a website with processing. Java isn't exactly as widely distributed as Flash, and there are version issues as well.

Have you taken a look at the reference?
http://processing.org/reference/index.html

Processing's api is pretty damned complete and can do just about anything you need it to do.

As far as controlling mouse from an external app, I'd recommend taking a look at the libraries page to see if anyone matches (http://processing.org/reference/libraries/index.html). I know of one library that will allow input from MaxMSP and such, and you can probably program that to hook into whatever else you're using.

Hope this helps...
