Ruby-processing?
Jul 12th, 2008, 12:35am  
It looks like there is very little ruby discussion in there, despite the readme.  Is it going on somewhere else?

I'm just learning to code, and I really would like to use Ben's book on Processing, but frankly I'm pretty put off by having to use so many java conventions.  I'd love to do it in ruby.  Has any one ported the examples to ruby-processing?

I'm not sure about porting the examples to ruby.  But if you're familiar with java and ruby syntax, the transition is pretty easy.

Check out this link over in hacks (search for livecoding)

http://processing.org/hacks/doku.php?id=hacks:livecoding

You'll find a few implementations using jruby.  Check out action-coding in particular.  I like this one.

If you find the discussion, let me know.

That's just it; I'm getting familiar with ruby syntax, and I'm trying to avoid having to learn java syntax.

Maybe I'll wait until processing 2.0.

There's some discussion here:
http://the-shoebox.org/apps/44

And the code/wiki is hosted here:
http://github.com/jashkenas/ruby-processing

Things seem to have gone quiet on it recently.

While Ruby would be nice to use, I think Processing.js will make it wise to stick with the Java syntax.

Unless someone writes a Ruby port :)

yeah, things have been quiet recently, because the code is fairly mature now. It wraps Processing just fine, can include Java and Ruby libraries, and can export applets and cross-platform applications. Maybe we should just release a 1.0 and call it finished for now... hmm.
