Running Processing in a web browser

in Programming Questions • 3 years ago

Hi there,

Is there any other way to run Processing in a web browser other than the applet way?

It just seems a pain that a user that does not have the JRE installed would have to do so just to view an applet (sketch?)

I'm aware of Processingjs - but without proper IE support; that breaks the multi-browser compatibility (plus I'm mainly interested in the Minim library which as I understand is not running in Processingjs).

Nope.

The whole point of a plugin is to give functionality that the browser itself doesn't support. If you want to access the power of a "serious" programming language like Java (which you really need if you want functionality as specialized as Minim), you need a plugin.

Can nothing be rendered server side and sent to the web page?

It would be hard to render sound this way...

You could, but for anything more than a small number of still images it's probably not going to be worth it. It takes a decent amount of bandwidth to stream video, and anything interactive is going to be laggy.

It's not as though Processing requires its own plug-in. Java's pretty widely used on the web these days.

Ok -thanks guys. It looks like I'm going to use the JS, HTML, CSS combo for straight sounds and work something out for the rest. .

The answer was actually yes back when the question was asked, but with version 1.0 the answer is "definitely, yes".

hey there,
I've recently created just another way to code processing live in your browser but with ruby:

It's a first tryout and takes very long to load , also the UI isn't fancy tough.
