I made my first little program I through together in 5 minutes just to get used to it. This language is pretty interesting. It reminds me of LOGO from my intro to programming class.

Here is my masterpiece:
Code:

void draw()
{
  for(int i=0; i<100; i++) {
    float r = random(500)*random(-1,1);
    curve(random(100), random(100), random(100), random(100), random(100), random(100), random(100), random(100));
    color c1 = color(random(102), random(102), random(102));
    fill(c1);
    noStroke();
    rect(random(100), random(100), random(100), random(100));

    float value = brightness((int)random(255));
    fill(value);
    rect(random(100), random(100), random(100), random(100));

    stroke(r*5);
    line(50, i, 50+r, i);
  }
}

 

I have a few questions:

What practical uses are there for Processing?

Can you embed a script into a webpage?

Quote:


I use processing to test ideas and algorithms.

Its very nice to have a pre-built easy to use framework, that I can just jump straight in and start coding the 'fun' parts of my idea without being bogged down by message loops, window creations, etc

I am also a big fan of code created art (i.e demo scene, openprocessing.org, and the like), and processing does a brilliant job at this.
