  • processing

    Source code for the Processing Core and Development Environment (PDE)

  • If anyone (like me) is wondering what/where "Processing" is: https://processing.org

    "Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code."

    "The Processing software has always been free and open source and has always run on Mac OS, Windows, and Linux."

    "The Processing community has written more than a hundred libraries for computer vision, data visualization, music composition, networking, 3D file exporting, and programming electronics."

    Discontinued My entries for Genuary2022

  • For anyone that wants to try this type of coding, I would recommend just to start. Pick your favorite language and just start drawing things. You will often need some thing that you don't know, but you will learn as you go. It often feels like 'hacking' to get result. Coding train, reddit, and personal blogs are perfect starting points. Remember, like any art, it is about process, not result.

    BTW: Every January is month of creative coding (https://genuary.art/), so you can join hundreds of other artists in 'solving' daily prompts. I did last Genuary (well not all prompts), and I got some some results that I am proud of (https://github.com/ubavic/genuary2022). That was the first time I coded in Processing.

    Awesome generative art

  • This is something that is pretty much whats closest to my heart. The creative coding / visual scene.

    Here is a good list.

    Also… Shaders ! Is a great way to start.

    Thats my work. All realtime.

  • Bonzomatic

    Live shader coding tool and Shader Showdown workhorse (by Gargaj)

  • surprised to not see anyone mention https://shadertoy.com

  • This is absolutely stunning!

    A little while ago, for a university introductory course to programming we had to use Processing for generative art. I created a little 3D island generator using P3D:

  • py5generator

    Meta-programming project that creates the py5 library code.

  • > I spent some time porting some of the functions to Python, but realized to make it useful it'd be a bigger effort than I had time and skill.

    Getting py5 off the ground started during pandemic lockdown and took many months. Managing the source code is best done computationally, with py5generator creating the actual py5 source code.
