Processing Development

This is my first sketch using the program Processing. This code will display a light blue background with a few different shapes. It shows a triangle, circle and line that stay still once the program is running. The green rectangle moves across the screen slowly to the right once the program is ran. The rectangle will continue to move even if it’s not in view inside the window until the program is stopped.

Sketch 1

Sketch 1 (Updated)

I have updated my first sketch by adding in some extra code. I have replaced the straight line and put in 3 lines that are connected to each other in the top left hand corner. I have also inserted a square that changes colour once I click or release the mouse button.

Left click = black
Right click = white
No click/release = grey

Sketch 2

This is my second sketch using the program Processing. I have created multiple red squares that are evenly spaced out by altering their values in the code window. The two white lines track my cursor where they both intersect. The code for this is at the very bottom of the coding window.

Summary

To summarize i have enjoyed using the open source program Processing and i have learnt a few new things whilst using it. I found it pretty easy to use and run my program without any issues. I found that their website "https://processing.org" was very useful in providing tips, tricks and guides on how to get the most out of the software.
