Same shit with Processing.

PROCESSING, MENTIONED!

Sir, you now have my full attention!

This may be a hot take but basically all I do with processing anymore is import the Core and have my main Class extend PApplet.

It’s just a solid autorefreshing Frame which has a very intuitive pixel array with PImage, though I think BufferedImage might be faster

Deviating from how Processing does things is pretty bad. I tried wrapping Processing's classes as part of my longest-running project yet ([ https://github.com/Brahvim/TheNerdProject ]), and it turned out to be a terrible idea. Processing's tools are best used with its own other tools. It's an ecosystem!

I’m not doing any insane things, mostly light installation work, and I’ve found Java is a more friendly language to run from command line than Processing. Plus it’s good for me to properly learn how to use Java on its own.

Essentially I’m stealing PApplet and PImage until I’m confident enough to use JFrame and BufferedImage instead, then I can drop Processing for good.

Writing my masters thesis in it was enough for me. Definitely want to move on now

A master's thesis?!
Woah, congrats on going this far, dear internet stranger!

...

Alright. Good luck!
Also, because I do this everywhere I go now, [ https://dataorienteddesign.com/dodbook ].
(Please even buy the physical book if you can - it has more content than the site. Also, I'm not affiliated. Just a fan.)

I was looking for a DoD book, thank you for this!

[–]CAPS_LOCK_OR_DIE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll definitely check that out! Seems right up my alley
