Playing with Processing

After some suggestions on some work I am doing in Haxe - I was told to took a look at Processing.  I downloaded it yesterday and I have to say I've fallen in love with it!

If you've never heard of it before - it's a dialect of Java that is aimed at creating artistic visualisations by providing a pretty full API of functions for doing graphics, maths and event handling.

If you've never checked it out before, I recommend having a look over at openprocessing.org to see some of the great stuff that has been released by some really creative people (and some crap from me).

The download comes with it's own "IDE" that allows you to code and test your programs in - but as it's implemented in Java you can also import the jar files into Eclipse to write you own Java-based implementations which is the next route I'll be looking at.

    Processing was taught at out intro to programming in uni - I love it. The community is just amazing, lots of new things being done with it.
    I had lots of fun and learnt java to boot. So yeah, recommend it to tinkerers, beginners, musicians and the arty-type in us all :D
