Okay I wrote a sketch that plays music and paints lines. The program starts and stops when the user presses the space bar. Works fine.
It took some doing but I was also able to get the program working in Processing.js mode - with getting the audio to play being the challenge. But I got it working and it works fine in the browsers I tested it in (Firefox 21 and Internet Explorer 9).
It then occurred to me to see if it worked in Chrome but the only place I have Chrome installed is on my Android tablet. And that's when it hit me - there is NO KEYBOARD available.
Given that more and more folks are going to be converting their Processing projects to Processing.js in order to run them on the web, and given that more and more people are using tablets to surf, does this render all web-based Processing sketches that require keyboard input useless?
Note that I am posting this to the Processing.js Google group. If an answer is provided there, I will repost it here.
Best Regards, Jim
