Processing

The Processing Community Survey 2025 is live! (Yes, we know it's 2026 but there were delays 😅) If you use Processing in any way, we’d love your input. It helps us understand what works and what needs attention. Take the survey: survey.processing.org 💙

As LLMs make it increasingly convenient to get answers without understanding how stuff works. I think P5 is more important than ever. I learned by experimenting and figuring stuff by myself. If you did as well, please consider donating to the P5: processingfoundation.org/support/donate/

Charlotte is INCREDIBLE. She has positioned us to do super magical things inside of Processing thanks to all the @bevy.org work she's done. Come to our Weekly World of @processing.org weekly meeting to learn more about it tomorrow: discord.gg/uDyZ5V24S?ev...

This evening, building on the work of others, I helped liberate the TEMP_er1 USB temperature sensor. This is an inexpensive (~$25), unbranded, white-label HID device that does one thing well. Now its data stream can be accessed in Python, #Processing, and via OSC. github.com/CreativeInqu...

At @fosdem.org this weekend? We’ll be presenting a talk on how the landscape for learning to code has changed and what that means for creative coding. Can we build tools that preserve learner agency, curiosity, and critical thinking? Come find us. We'd love to chat! 🔗 fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

Processing 4.5.1 has been released, here is a little post about it: medium.com/@ProcessingO...

@sableraph.bsky.social and I are going to be speaking at @fosdem.org this year. Definitely come find us and talk to us! OTHERWISE I WILL FIND YOU. AND I WILL TALK TO YOU. fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

Things to do on way to a vernissage

The upcoming 4.4.5 release of Processing includes as many new contributors as all the releases since 4.3.1 combined 🥳 We’ve been working hard to lower the barrier to entry, so seeing this many new folks jump in is really encouraging and honestly makes us a bit emotional. Thank you 💙

I found a way to make transparent windows in @processing.org and couldn’t think of anything smarter to build 🐄💥 #builtWithProcessing

Only a few days left to apply for the 2025 #pr05, a $10.000 #OpenSource #SoftwareDevelopment Grant from the Processing Foundation! The deadline is May 31. Apply: processingfoundation.org/grants

Rare, old Proce55ing photo from April 2002. Yikes!

In 2012, I created The Virtual City, an interactive visualisation of Facebook user interactions taking place in specific cities. The installation invited visitors to explore through place and time. #processing #creativecoding #dataviz #datavisualization #tbt #data #timeline #explore #data #geography

Downloaded Processing.org again. Made this little tool for making shapes with hexagonal symmetry. It's such a simple thing, but all the apps I've used only have square, reflectional, and rotational symmetry.

Tried making a Penrose Triangle and I got this. 'How very Borges of you' To the people who made Processing.org I am not worthy. I am not worthy. Genius.

Are you passionate about broadening access to #codeEducation? Does it excite you to work with art, K-12, and software stakeholders? The #ProcessingFoundation seeks individuals experienced in non-profit public programming to join our team. Apply by March 30. processingfoundation.org/employment/p...

After labouring three days over one line of code, I have learned that it is a good idea to just ask people in a forum after you've done some good research and are still stuck. Thank you so much @processing.org forum.

Only 4 days left to apply for @processing.org Day Porto's open call for artworks/online exhibition: pcd.fba.up.pt/2025/call.html . #creativecoding

@processing.org is the coolest ever, part of the reason I like programming so much is because of the hours I spent playing around with the java processing environment and then p5.js, absolutely amazing

Very happy to announce that I have rediscovered Processing. For some of my needs it helps me to escape the configuration hell of Jupyter Notebooks.

Malicious compliance 😆

Ever tried projection mapping? It's now a breeze with @spacefiller.bsky.social's Shape Mapper library 💙 Instructions and detailed tutorials available at shapemapper.dev

Geometry Suite for Processing by Micycle is a treasure trove of 2D geometric algorithms 📐 For its 2.0 release, this must-have library finally comes to the Processing Contribution Manager! 🔗 github.com/micycle1/PGS/

@processing.org Community Day Porto 2025 Call for artworks: pcd.fba.up.pt/2025/call.html . PCD25@Porto invites artists, academics, researchers, professionals, and creators to submit individual or collective artworks that explore the Sense of Wonder. . #creativecoding

Hi @coinop29.bsky.social and thanks for calling Processing Tech Support. Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. How may I help you? 🙃 www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNW0...

"Nouveaux dessins géométriques et artistiques avec votre micro-ordinateur" • A short video about the recoding process ! Jean-Paul Delahaye kindly allowed me to link the pdf scans of the book. github.com/v3ga/nouveau...

This week I discovered @processing.org , and now I'm falling down the rabbit hole of finally learning to digitally render tiling designs and quilt pattering. I'm so excited! Would love to connect with others working in this space.

The Critical Coding Cookbook PDF Reader is now downloadable at criticalcode.recipes/downloads. The 276 pages of delicious reading includes hyperlinks to code examples and it’s printer-friendly 🍥 Special thanks to Munus Shih for turning the website into a book 🍢 #criticalmaking #openknowledge

My open source library for projection mapping is officially released today, free for all to use. Built on the @processing.org creative coding framework, it’s based on years of SPACEFILLER projection mapping installations. shapemapper.dev

Shamelessly jumping on the #genuary2025 bandwagon 😜, with some old work.. "Dark Matter" from 2021 .. Day 04 : Black On Black #genuary4 .. made with @processing.org (hope it survives the compression?!)
