Runnin a sketch without a window
Jun 1st, 2009, 9:42am  
Hello all,

I'd like my processing application to be invisible and only communicate through TCP/IP. So I want the loop but not the window or the draw().

Is there a way to do this?

Any help would be more than welcome as I'm quite the noob  Embarrassed
Thanks in advance.

I think you will have to go to pure Java for that.

Processing (actually the preprocessor for Processing) expects something that can at least be cast to a PApplet.

For a small class that will loop, you could use a thread saved in a *.java file or made in another IDE (Eclipse, NetBeans, etc):
