E-mail Processing

While it may not be nearly as kooky as calling Processing on the phone, I’ve been asked about checking e-mail from Processing several times this semester.

Most Pixels Ever Alpha Release

Seriously, Run Lola Run.  Run!

I’m pleased to announce that we’re releasing the first version of The Most Pixels Ever, an open-source Java framework for spanning Processing sketches across multiple screens (developed with Chris Kairalla). This is an early version that has many limitations and needs a great deal of improvement, but it does work. The site isn’t complete, but the source is available, and there are a couple tutorials to help get your started.

I’ll be using the library in conjunction with teaching a new class at ITP starting today!
