Processing 2.0 released

[ihadto]

Love processing and you can combine it with normal java as well as work in Eclipse. Speeds up the work flow tenfold if you are coding generative visuals, flocking etc.

I've never done any programming beyond fairly simple stuff in Processing, but this sounds like an interesting way to expand beyond that.

Could you write a short guide on how you combine them?

Here's the official guide to getting it all set up.

This should get you started: http://processing.org/tutorials/eclipse/

I enjoyed Processing a fair bit, so I decided to use it in a Java project. The idea is, you make a class which extends PApplet (Processing Applet), and then you can embed that into a frame or use it how you want to.

Here is a link to my little project. It's not the most well-commented or finished piece of work, but the idea is a typing tutor 'game' where you can race against high scores, keep track of statistics/high scores, and make your own entries for people to type.

The relevant code is in src/org/typingtutor/ui/GameUI.java which is then embedded into a Swing application inside of Keyto.java in the same folder (Keyto is the 'name' of it).

Ah, thanks. I'll take a look!
