Hello,

I have just downloaded Processing 129, having previously used version 125.  In 129, for me no graphics work in basic mode (without methods).  Console output is functional (e.g. println()), and background() works, but that's it - no other graphics.  

This is as true of the included Processing examples as my own scripts!  All Processing examples in basic mode have nonfunctional graphics.  This is NOT true of the setup() and draw() methods:  these work fine.  In order to make any graphics function, I have to include a "void setup() {}" function and then package my code inside a draw() function.  So, to reiterate - basic mode is broken.

Hello,

Let's use one of the Processing Example sketches - I've loaded up Basics -> Control -> Conditionals1.  

The size() and background() statements work:  When I run this sketch, a 200x200 window pops up with background set to 0 (or any value I type in).  So far so good.  If I were to put a statement such as print("Hello!") at the end of this sketch, this would function correctly as well.  However, the 200x200 window does nothing more:  no graphics are displayed inside it.

If I encapsulate the Conditionals1 code inside the setup() function, using a blank draw() function beneath it, then the result is the same:  a properly sized window appears with proper background, but no further graphics.

If I instead use a blank setup() function and encapsulate the Conditionals1 code inside the draw() function, then everything works perfectly.  

As a side note, one of the Processing example sketches probably needs a change:  Basics -> Color -> Colorwheel does not include a draw() function, hence won't display anything (I believe the FAQ says that Processing in methods mode requires a draw() function).

Thanks!

Interesting!   Processing 127 works perfectly! No issues.

On the offchance this might be an issue with Java 6 (big and slow), I erased all java packages (JRE & JDK), then rebooted.  I downloaded Processing 129 with included java...unfortunately, this has not changed anything.  I'm going to try a different system and see if that makes a difference.

Cheers (and, at the end of the day, Processing is absolutely brilliant)
