There are some projects like Ipad processing and someone has ported  processingjs (a derivative of processing) to the iphone,itouch,ipad and android.

However, there is no full blown IOs version of processing available as yet.

I see processing as the tip of the iceberg metaphor .

We are just at the beginning of the level of productivity we can achieve with today's electronic device languages.

Processing's core strength in my opinion is it's ability of being the fastest idea to proof of concept software tool currently available across operating systems.

It works with both IOs (mac), WinOS (pc) and Linux (the other OS :-) )

Processing is so powerful sometimes its scary!

Processing rocks when it comes to pixel on pixel manipulation. It's faster than flash in this regard and to think its a layer on top of Java which is another layer on top of C.

I shudder to think what would be possible if Processing was ported to machine language on the fly where you communicated directly with the 'Direct Assembly Code' now that would rock!!!

since above is almost a year old, where are whe today?

Hi,

There is iProcessing

oh indeed. But this is something completely different. 

Is Apple fully allowing such application now? Some time ago, they didn't want to allow interpreters (and compilers) on iOS. Later, they tolerated scripts as long as they are full part of an app (like Lua scripts in games). You can make IDEs in iOS, now?

It hasn't been approved yet, but as there are IDE apps like Textastic and a couple of other webdev environments, I don't see any general problems with it. As mentioned, I'm using processingjs, so the processing code is rendered with WebKit and not compiled natively. 

@audiocommander: I apply as a tester.

@phil.lho:
Also, Codea is an IDE on the iPad

@everybody
we had the discussion here:
https://forum.processing.org/topic/processing-and-ipad-beginner-s-guide
And mondonerd and some others had great stuff to tell.

I played around with the open sketchpad studio at http://studio.sketchpad.cc
My Code from processing worked on the iPad immediately using it in the browser.
I didn't have to change my (simple) processing Code.
Get a free account there.
Anyway, it is clumsy to switch between the running program and the Code in the sketchpad studio when you use it on the iPad.
I didn't try it on my iPhone.

But go to the other thread and read mondonerd's advice.


Cheers, Chrisir

Just wanted to chime in and say that I have been using processingJS to experiment with webaps on iOS and android and have been having success so far :)

Just for your information, PR0C3551N6 is available now:

Wow, cool :-)
