Programming

Processing is a way for code to create stunning and artistic visuals. This session will be aimed at beginners with minimal exposure to coding and are interested learning with a system that gives rewarding feedback. Processing is a sister project to Arduino and output from Arduino serial data can be used as an input to visualizations. 

Examples of artists using processing: https://vimeo.com/320513063

Processing across different langauges

• Prosession (java based)
• Processing.js
• p5js
• Processing.py
• Wiring and Arduino
• iProcessing
• JRubyArt

Howver we will be using a free online editor https://editor.p5js.org/.

We will then explore:

1. Create a basic program from scratch

• Coordinates (check what things do at: https://processing.org/reference/)
• Shapes
• Loop

2. Go through examples and talk about what makes them work.

• Line and Width Draw
• Animate
• Function
• 3d primatives

3. Experiment 

• Modify examples

Processing can be shared online. The following are some examples of visualizations created in processing.
