Processing

  • Consider the scale of the project. It’s not always necessary to build enterprise-level software on the first day. Explore first: figure out the minimum code necessary to help answer your questions and satisfy your curiosity.

The Processing project encourages a style of work that builds code quickly, understanding that either the code will be used as a quick sketch, or ideas are being tested before developing a final project

Coordinates

Processing uses a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin in the upper-left corner. If your sketch is 320 pixels wide and 240 pixels high, coordinate (0, 0) is the upper-left pixel and coordinate (320, 240) is in the lower-right. The last visible pixel in the lower-right corner of the screen is at position(319, 239) because pixels are drawn to the right and below the coordinate.
