We’ve been working hard to lower the barrier to entry, so seeing this many new folks jump in is really encouraging and honestly makes us a bit emotional. Thank you 💙

Usernames listed include @marioguzzzman, @thisizaro, @ovaline, @jd-boyd, @Vaivaswat2244, @JSdCool, @AhmedMagedC, @pnngocdoan, @joshgiesbrecht, @ThexXTURBOXx, @jdebou, @toniab, and @aj-m.

Rare, old Proce55ing photo from April 2002. Yikes!

A photograph of an early version of the Processing (then styled as "Proce55ing") development environment running on a Mac desktop interface. The window displays a sketch with simple code using void setup() and void loop() functions, drawing a series of diagonal lines. Next to the editor is a small output window showing the visual result of the code. In the background, a Finder window is open, showing the directory contents of the "processing-0024" folder, including subfolders like "fonts", "lib", "reference" and "sketchbook." This image dates from April 2002 and captures an early stage in the development of Processing.

A macOS installation window for Processing, showing a blue Processing.app icon on the left and an Applications folder on the right, with an arrow between them indicating the app should be dragged into the folder. The background is blue with a grid pattern, and there are playful, blue geometric characters with eyes in the corners of the window.

In 2012, I created The Virtual City, an interactive visualisation of Facebook user interactions taking place in specific cities. The installation invited visitors to explore through place and time. #processing #creativecoding #dataviz #datavisualization #tbt #data #timeline #explore #data #geography

Downloaded Processing.org again. Made this little tool for making shapes with hexagonal symmetry.

It's such a simple thing, but all the apps I've used only have square, reflectional, and rotational symmetry.

Tried making a Penrose Triangle and I got this.

To the people who made Processing.org

Genius.

Computer code to generate a Penrose Triangle and some Processing response about not being able to save this in a folder which is already open.

After labouring three days over one line of code, I have learned that it is a good idea to just ask people in a forum after you've done some good research and are still stuck. Thank you so much @processing.org forum.

@processing.org is the coolest ever, part of the reason I like programming so much is because of the hours I spent playing around with the java processing environment and then p5.js, absolutely amazing

Very happy to announce that I have rediscovered Processing.

For some of my needs it helps me to escape the configuration hell of Jupyter Notebooks.
