I made a sliding puzzle game in processing. What makes it a bit different from all the others is, that there are no numbers on the pices but you have it to sort the fields by color-gradient.

To use mbrola-voices with the processing ttslib make sure you have installed the newest version of ttslib (version 0.2 at the time of writing). Download the mbrola-binary for your system and make sure the binary is named mbrola (or else freetts won't find it).

Make sure you can live with the mbrola-licence.

Download the us voices you want to use and unzip them to the directory where your mbrola binary lives.

on my linux system the content of the mbrola directory looks like this

./mbrola206a-linux-ppc
./mbrola-linux-alpha
./mbrola_linux_libc5
./mbrola
./mbrola-linux-i386
./mbrola302b-linux-ppc

in the setup method of your processing sketch set the absolute path to your mbrola directory as a java system property. Now the name of the mbrola voice you want to use can be added as a string parameter to the TTS constructor

import guru.ttslib.*;

TTS tts;

void setup() {
  System.setProperty("mbrola.base","/path/to/mbrola/");
  tts = new TTS("mbrola_us1");
}

void draw() {
}

void mousePressed() {
  tts.speak("Hello! I'm a talking processing sketch!");
}

I made another abstract art generator in processing, this time i'm using the color red. this is my day 4 project for 30DaysOfCreativity

I wrote a little processing sketch that draws little black ink-dots wherever you click the mouse. than they slowly dissolve in the white background like inkdrops in water. This is my "day 2" submission for 30daysofcreativity

i wrote a simple processing sketch that simulates broken glass

I have made a little processing script that simulates hand drawn lines. use bezier vertices to shift the line by a small random factor and draw the line twice. The resulting lines look if they where drawn using a felttip pen

On a rainy day 2 weeks ago, I made my own litte sun in processing. just to be a bit more independent. you can move it with the mouse, to play some sun-risings or -settings.

Another useless simple processing-sketch, that lets you explore a small subset of the 2-Dimentional field, the noise function generates. With really really big pixels

I made another simple processing sketch. This time starring two worms chasing each other
