Buddies and colleagues of mine told me years ago to get into Processing – to which I never did. Well, I finally hunkered down and began to fiddle with it. I should have done it years ago. Because it’s Java-based, there a plethora of libraries to make things which would otherwise be impossible to do in Flash extremely easy. For myself, the simple ability to output to an image sequence or Quicktime file sealed it for me. Below is the first sketch I did in Processing – comprised of a little more than 30 lines of code.
