Linked lists in Processing?
Apr 18th, 2010, 12:28pm  
Hi!

I was wondering if it is possible to make a linked-list like data structure in Processing (if you don't know what it is - check this, beware - awful background there Cheesy). I didn't find any struct operators, so I tried something like
Code:
class test {
    int somevalue;
    test *next-test;
}


But it wasn't working. I don't know Java, but after some googling it seems that it is possible to make linked lists there. Is it possible

I thought that linked lists would be a great way to make some L-system sketches.

Thanks in advance!

There are of course some caveats, but since Processing is built on Java you can usually use Java directly in Processing.  E.g. it seems it's easy enough to create a LinkedList object:

Code:
LinkedList foo;

void setup() {
  size(100,100);
  foo = new LinkedList(); 
}

Where is the what if the what is in why?

I've come across this processing LSystem sketch http://garethspor.com/lsystems/lsystem.pde with what looks to me like a quick and dirty implementation of a linked list. It is a style of coding that did not appeal to me, and is definitely not necessary.
