A simple way to make processing far more useful
Oct 15th, 2009, 6:55am  
Before I undertake just about anything I have a look at what other people have done in the field. Scripting languages are wonderful in this respect - I can just tweak someone else's creativity.

A major problem with Processing is that "processing" is a common English used extensively in a variety of roles. A google image search on processing (something that should return pure gold in Processing's case because it is so visual), is almost useless.

What about changing Processing's name to Processingx so that it has a unique presence on the web?

A very common complain (I did it a while ago...), and coming a bit late. I doubt, now that Processing is well known and linked from everywhere, that it will change its name...
Note: Some people aware of the problem chose to name it Proce55ing (similarity of 5 and S glyphs) to make it more unique in their articles/blog posts. Searching this might help in narrowing down (perhaps too much as not everybody did that) the searches.
That's also why you see lot of P5 in library names...

i guess everybody has had this problem when searching for processing on the web. That always reminded me about searching for an mp3 of a band called stereo. No chance....
Anyway, what helps is to search for "built with processing" you at least find alot of sketches by doing this.
