100 Cool Processing Sketches

If you wish to make a computer do what *you* want it to do, then you really need to know how to program. This book uses graduated, working examples, each no more than a page long, to show how to accomplish many interesting tasks. Starting simply with drawing lines and circles, the projects rapidly get more complex: playing an MP3, displaying a video, developing a computer game. Want to do an animation? Are you an artist? Interested in new media? This book will help you accomplish your goals.

About the Book

This book begins by describing some very simple projects (draw circles and lines) and by explaining how the language works. Each sketch is a little more complex than the one before, and all are based on creating something visually or auditorially interesting. Use the book for fun, or to teach artists, new media students, and even intro programmers.
