I started a little Advent Calendar containing Processing sketches.

This is the sketch for Door 5. Press a key to drop more packets. The sketch uses the great jbox2d physics engine and the processing library wrapper

I made a new version of my cookiecutter-editor.

Designs can be saved now and the node-count can be adjusted to your needs. I also exported a linux, a Macos X and a Windows version of the processing sketch.

Go to the Projekt page and download the editor - because NOW is the right time of the year to desing your CookieCutters!

I made another simple processing sketch that draws an eye using two parabolic curves and a circle using straight lines

Processing has various commands to draw curves like curve, bezier, bezierVertex and so on, but it also has commands that allow you to follow these paths. I wrote a simple sketch that shows how to animate a small ellipse that follows a bezier-path using bezierPoint

I made a short processing sketch that shows how to use the bezierVertex command. It can be used to draw a curve between a start- and an endpoint, using two control points (similar to the curve elements vector graphic programms use).

The following code block draws a heart in processing.

beginShape();
vertex(150,150);
bezierVertex( 150,120, 100,120, 100, 150);
bezierVertex( 100,180, 150,185, 150, 210 );
bezierVertex( 150,185, 200,180, 200, 150 );  
bezierVertex( 200,120, 150,120, 150, 150 );  
endShape();

This is a small processing sketch that simulates a macro shot of some small, glowing particles floating in water. I used 4 layers of particles and called blur between them to generate the macro focus effect.
