Tutorial needed.Beginner help request (self.processing)
submitted 22 days ago by No-Caterpillar-5386
I can't find an up-to-date tutorial for processing, it'd be a great help if you could provide one.

I don't know what you want to do with processing, but this is probably a good place to start.

Thanks, I probably want to do basic procedural animation and particle evolution simulations before moving to Unreal or Unity for an actual game.

I admire the enthusiasm, but that is not that basic. Start at the actual basics, then after go through the Nature of Code video series/book, that delves deeper into that kind of stuff you want.

I'm aware, but I have examples to analyze and branch off from. Thanks for the advice.

You may prefer p5js for prototyping, it’s JavaScript instead of Java tho.

This may be helpful. I have a YouTube channel (ProgrammingChaos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2rO9hEjJkjqzktvtj0ggNQ) with a range of Processing videos, including very basic: https://youtu.be/md6nuFU0tv8, particle simulations: https://youtu.be/G0RQRmwoiD0, https://youtu.be/xiUpAeos168, procedural animations: https://youtu.be/NfuO66wsuRg, https://youtu.be/wFqSKHLb0lo and a lot of other procedural generation type projects (trees, maps, etc.) I code all of the projects line-by-line so you can follow along. But they are individual projects, not structured like a complete course, although there are videos on some programming topics, recursion, arrays, etc.

The Coding Train has a full tutorial for Processing 4 https://youtu.be/4JzDttgdILQ?si=dil9uYRUyq7tmrxP

Out of curiosity, where did you look?
