This is the archived original repository for the Processing Development Environment (PDE), core libraries, and Java-based creative coding language. Development has moved to the processing/processing4 repository, so this repo is frozen and issues are redirected there.
Use cases
- learn programming through visual sketches
- create generative art and animations in Java
- teach creative coding in classrooms
- build interactive graphics prototypes
- explore the historical Processing 3 source code
When to choose
- you need to inspect or maintain legacy Processing 3 code
- you want to study the historical source of the PDE
When to avoid
- you want to develop with or contribute to Processing today - use processing/processing4
- you need bug fixes or new features
- you want the latest IDE release
