I was wondering if there are any people in the San Francisco or East Bay area who would be interested in having meet-ups to work together, maybe once a week at a cafe or something? Or maybe there is a group out there already that I don't know about.

I am pretty new to Processing but really interested in doing some more work with it and learning more. It would be great to have the structure of group meetings, meet people with similar interests, and learn from each other.

processing applet in safari

Hello,

I have an applet made with processing that doesn't run in Safari. I have been looking for help online, and changed to using "code" instead of "classid" in the object tag, because I read that Safari won't open any applet that includes the classid in the object definition. The result seems to be running in Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer, but still not in Safari. Now in Safari I get the outline of the applet window and a quick flash of the processing logo, which I wasn't getting before -- but that's it.

Below is the body of my html:

Hello,
I made a sketch using SoundCipher and tried it out online. Some people using Internet Explorer can't hear the sound -- does anyone know what could be wrong?

Thanks.

scaling svg/pshapes

Hello,

I have an svg file with outlines of different sections of a map of San Francisco that I would like to use in a sketch. I need to resize the whole map, but loading the shape and then resizing it doesn't seem to affect the child shapes.

Right now some code I am trying out looks like this:
1. PShape sfmap;
  PShape mission;
  void setup() {
  size(900, 900);
  sfmap = loadShape("Brenda_FirstAttempt.svg");
  sfmap.scale(.2);
  mission = sfmap.getChild("mission");
  mission.scale(.2);
  smooth();
  noLoop();
  }
  
  void draw() {
  background(255);
  
  sfmap.disableStyle();
  shape(sfmap);
2. mission.disableStyle();
  fill(0);
  stroke(0);
  shape(mission);
  }
It sort of looks like it's doing what I want: draws an outline of the map image, and colors in the shape with the id "mission" in black... except there is also a little tiny outline of the mission shape also drawn in the upper lefthand corner of the map. I figure this has something to do with the scale commands, but when I leave out the line
1. mission.scale(.2);
I just see the map outline with no shading in the mission. I was thinking there might be a gigantic shaded in version of the mission offscreen, and it does seem like adding that line puts a proportionally sized mission onscreen with shading, but then I also get the smaller outline in the left corner.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

making a jigsaw puzzle

Hello,

I am a newbie and trying to make a thing that includes something like a jigsaw puzzle, with the original image carved up into pieces, and the user can drag the pieces onto the puzzle mat.

Right now I have it sort of working using rectangular pieces, and an underlying colored image of the puzzle mat, so pieces fit based on whether they're assigned color matches the color on the underlying image.

But I really want the pieces to be more irregularly shaped, and even with the rectangles I am having a bit of trouble detecting edges and snapping in pieces when the user gets "close enough" to the right section of the puzzle.

I have looked into SVG shapes and also the Blob library a bit, but, well, I don't really get how to use them. It seems like I can create an SVG outline of the puzzle mat with tracing where the pieces belong in Gimp, but I'm not sure how to get at individual pieces within that tracing.

The Blob library sounds like it should be a good thing to use, but I confess that I am lost about how to approach it.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any examples or has some suggestions that could point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

individual audio note samples

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get samples of individual audio notes, preferably for multiple instruments, and with at least 26 ascending notes per instrument. I would like to try something with playing notes associated with letters of the alphabet, using different instruments for different voices, but I'm not sure how to get individual note samples.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am very new to Processing, and I was wondering if there is any way to do an animation that would trace a Pshape/svg outline? Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
