Hello everyone,
I started this project a month or so ago when I realised how awesome it would be if you could make your own effects with Instagram - so Photode was born. I decided to use Processing as the library for creating the effects because it's popular, simple to use and open. The effects are written in the Processing IDE, then using a single-click export tool the sketch is exported to the .photode format which can then be put on the device and used immediately. The idea was to try and build a community around creating, sharing, using and rating effects made by other people.
So here's an extremely alpha version of the app (you need to enable installations from unknown sources):

The app comes bundled with 3 effects already (super basic, just used for testing really) and if you want to see how to make an effect for yourself, look in the photode/sketches folder on your phone and the source code for each effect is there. But if you guys think this is a good idea and worth developing, I'll make some proper tutorials and a website and put it on the Play Store, make it all shiny, etc etc etc.
Here's the source for the app:

And for the tool:

If anyone is up for helping out that would be great because I don't have enough time to implement all the things I want to do with this project.
By the way, I've never shared a project of this scale before so any tips for making the project more shareable/readable would be useful (GitHub stuff, code style stuff, etc)
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Rob
