Flash Alternative: Processing Version 1.0

[ Thanks to Britta Wuelfing for

“With the help of some simple code, Processing will
create 2-D and 3-D models and animations (Figure 1). These you can
export as Java applets into websites. The tool can provide many
creative outlets in that it is easy to use. A number of examples
have been collected.

“New in version 1.0 is the reintroduction of the P2D
two-dimensional renderer. Line smoothing isn’t quite 100%, although
it’s standard with P2D and P3D renderers. The inherent OpenGL
renderer uses full-screen anti-aliasing and ignores smooth() and
nosmooth() methods. Processing provides a new vector class,
PVector, that creates a tuple for easier 3-D data storage.””
