Operating systems and programs change, of course, so if this paragraph is obsolete or out of date, visit the download page on the site for information regarding what you need. The Processing software will arrive as a compressed file. Choose a nice directory to store the application (usually “c:\Program Files\” on Windows and in “Applications” on Mac), extract the files there, locate the “Processing” executable, and run it. Exercise 2-1: Download and install Processing. 3 The Processing Application The Processing development environment is a simplified environment for writing computer code, and is just about as straightforward to use as simple text editing software (such as TextEdit or Notepad) combined with a media player.

For possible solutions. html#wontstart. Exercise 2-2: Open a sketch from the Processing examples and run it. fig. 3 Processing programs can also be viewed full-screen (known as “present mode” in Processing). This is available through the menu option: Sketch → Present (or by shift-clicking the run button). Present will not resize your screen resolution. If you want the sketch to cover your entire screen, you must use your screen dimensions in size( ). 4 The Sketchbook Processing programs are informally referred to as sketches, in the spirit of quick graphics prototyping, and we will employ this term throughout the course of this book.

Com), find the example by its number, and copy/paste (or download) the code. Certainly option #2 is the easier and less time-consuming one and I recommend you use the site as a resource for seeing sketches running in real-time and grabbing code examples. Nonetheless, as you start learning, there is real value in typing the code yourself. Your brain will sponge up the syntax and logic as you type and you will learn a great deal by making mistakes along the way. Not to mention simply running the sketch after entering each new line of code will eliminate any mystery as to how the sketch works.
