I first learned about Processing at Maker Faire in 2011. I don’t consider myself a visual artist, but Processing made it straightforward to create beautiful graphics using code. However, I didn’t want to go through the hassle of working with the Processing IDE, so I set it aside for a couple years.
Recently, I came across Processing.js and decided to give it another shot. By porting it to JavaScript, the developers have made it easier to get started and publish to the web (though I would guess that the JavaScript version runs slower than native Processing). All I needed was a project.
