Creating Computer Art With Processing JS

-

My class on Big Data teaches 3 different computer languages: Java, Processing JS and R.  Right now, I am taking the class that works with Java and R.  However, I started to learn Processing JS to get ready for the class on Processing JS.

Here is a screen shot of my first program: Black and White Circles.

What is Processing JS ?

  • It is a tool that converts Processing to JavaScript
  • Created by MIT in the 1990s
  • Used for complex visual work

Why use it?
  • Avoids having to use JavaScript for graphics
  • Easy to use graphics and animation language
  • Java-like syntax

Why not?
  • Requires learning a new language
  • Requires additional libraries
  • Inefficient for low level graphics
Here is a video of my the Black and White Circles program:

I play to start with Pygame before the end of the year.

I will continue on with the game and post the final version.  After learning how to make basic games in Python using Turtle, I plan to move on to making simple games using Pygame.
