Hi, I'm Licia from the University of Udine in Italy,I'm at 2nd year of Web Technology and Multimedia. I knew Processing few mounths ago and it was love at first sight :x . I've a question about the projects :-?, I see this page: https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Project-List; there is a project where I can fix the bug? But anyway I'm vey interesting the p5.js project but it is only developed with javascript? I'm apologize for my bad english. Thanks, Licia

You can browse the github issues pages for all of our repos to see all the outstanding bugs. p5.js is a JavaScript project, correct.

GoToLoop

• There's also Processing.JS (PJS) framework: http://ProcessingJS.org/
• Which is more focused on transpiling Processing Java into JavaScript.
• That is, we still write in Java syntax, but it's converted to JavaScript in order to run in the web too!

Thanks for your answer, but I know nothing about JavaScript :( it is a problem

GoTOLoop seriously? So I can write the code in Java and after I'll convert in JS?

GoToLoop

• Well, we still gotta strictly adhere to Processing's API in order for the transpiling to succeed.
• And we can't use Java libraries either. Unless they're cross-mode.
• Simply install "JavaScript Mode" from the PDE.
• Click that top-right Java button and choose "Add Mode".

Some online examples w/ full source in Java syntax so you can have an idea of what is possible:

REAS

Yes, p5.js is developed in JavaScript. Processing.js is a project that is developed outside of the Processing organization, so work on that isn't currently under consideration for the Summer of Code.

Processing.js is a project that is developed outside of the Processing organization,...

• But up till some months ago, it enjoyed being linked from "processing.org" site.
• For many folks who still can't bear JS "classes", it's an important project!
• Even though it's not "official" anymore, I don't see why the need to remove its link!
• Even Canonical recognizes Ubuntu's many flavors. Although it's very hidden: http://releases.ubuntu.com/

Ok thanks, these days I didn't have much time for see all projects, tomorrow I'll see better and I choose where I prefer to develop for GSoC (if you decide to choose me ;)).

P.S: I'm apologize again for my english

l_120191

I see all projects and I would like develop in Graphics Widget the Color Selector improvement (Sample any pixel on screen, Palette generator, Import #s into code (or clipboard). what do you think about my choice?

shiffman

If you are excited by the idea then we would welcome your proposal.

l_120191

The project is developed in Java, right?

shiffman

Yes, that's right!

l_120191

Ok, I see the code is all on GitHub and I create an account and I see how it works. In the next weeks I see some tutorial of to programmin form in Java.

l_120191

I see in Tools-->Color Selector that all functions are already implemented, why is a project for GSoC?
