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

    I've been using Processing (https://processing.org/) lately for most of my visual cool looking things. It's technically a separate language but really it is just java with some additional built in functions that are used often in game dev. It's not really meant for anything large scale, mostly just to write a quick tech demo or prototype. Very simple to use and extremely quick results compared to anything else I've tried. So far I've used it to prototype a spline path creator, cellular automata, and basic rope physics.
