If you are interested in Processing you are probably interested in what else is out there to design and create artwork with a computer.
openFrameworks (oF) - I have not yet made anything with openFrameworks but it seems like the openFrameworks library and the Processing library have many similarities. Just as Processing is built upon Java, openFrameworks is built upon C++. Unlike Processing, openFrameworks does not have an IDE built in. I really want to try it next because it seems like a lot of designers for large scale works are using it. I'll try to figure out what the advantages and disadvantages of working in openFrameworks versus Processing.
pure data (pd) - Pure data was introduced to me by Professor Pat Pagano. He's worked with it forever and uses it to create immersive visuals, control lighting, and create interactive art. I have done a little work in pure data. Pure data is a graphical programming language - the programs you create look like flow charts rather than lines of text.

flower painter
Someone told me that the difference between undergraduate education and graduate education is that you transition from tool user to tool maker. With that in mind I have been exploring making my own drawing tools within Processing. Flower painter is the first of these drawing tools. The idea is quite simple and written in less than a page of code. The actual drawing tool is a flower with five petals. The length of time you press down with your mouse click affects how many ellipses go into forming the petals. Next I am going to make GUI that would allow me to simply change the size of the ellipses and the range of colors.
hello world
The beauty of Processing is that it is java based so it’s perfect for the web. So I have decided to make a website/blog that is easy to update and easy for others to use. Processing sketches can easily be displayed as applets on blogs.
