How to modify a processing sketch in the desktop using a mobile device
I'm a noob. How can I modify a processing sketch in the desktop using a mobile device?
Answers
What exactly do you mean by modify?
In a pc I use a processing sketch where an ellipse follow the mouse. Can I move the ellipse in the pc using the fingers in a mobile device that send the mouseX mouseY data from the mobile device screen?
In principle yes: a sketch running in the browser (or an App) on the mobile could send data back to a server which is then read by a sketch running on the PC. In practice this is a fairly complex undertaking and likely to require some coding outside of Processing (e.g. server-side scripting to parse incoming data) so not a good starting project for a 'noob'... Do you have previous coding experience in other languages?
It may be not so hard task actually, because of existence of net library. Using examples for that library, it is not hard to make communication between sketches on 2 different machines. The hard thing is Android side, as usually there is a number of problems to make it work. But, looks like it is possible: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnjNO21o_lU
Thank you all. I will try the Ater's suggestion.
The Ater's video is exactly what I want to do?
Just to clarify, the video is not mine, so I can't share a solution.
