PROCESSING

Processing created by Casey Reas and Benjamin Fry, both formerly of the Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media Labis flexible developed the processing software that allows user to develop their own design as a sketchbook and with processing is it measured by pixels using what is called ‘Java Language’ which is like using graph paper the canvas is the coordinate system, assign by x & y. Processing lets you create shapes (3D & 2D), motions, images, calculate numbers, tools, libraries and set colours. On the processing website under the page ‘References’ tutorials on each code you can use in your processing design.
Open processing is a webpage platform showcasing other people processing design and their codes which is very useful if you want to take inspiration for your own processing sketch and improving on your coding skills.

For my first sketch in Processing I created a house coding in basic shape; createShapes() and RBG colours for my house. RGB (red, green, and blue) refers to a system for representing the colours to be used on a computer display. Red, green, and blue can be combined in various proportions to obtain any colour in the visible spectrum.
The createShape() function is used to define a new shape. Once created, this shape can be drawn with the shape() function. The basic way to use the function defines new primitive shapes.

OPENING PROCESSING

In processing when you start coding it your coordinates to place your code in processing so imagine this is your y axis and the bottom is the x axis. With drawing 2D lines it requires four parameters: line(x1, y1, x2, y2).

It runs your processing sketch in java

A message come up if there is an error with your sketch

The next exercise we did in Processing we created data visualisations. I based mine on different flavour of jams and how much they sold in a month and the remaining amount.

Here is a sketch i found on the open processing website which was uploaded by laipinyi and tweaked the code. From falling petals to fish swimming, well that what was I was trying to edit the code to do
