Processing.js v0.9.6 Released

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Download Processing.js 0.9.6

We are very pleased to announce the release of Processing.js 0.9.46!

The new 0.9.6 release is now available for download on the GitHub repository. This release encompasses an early implementation of loading and displaying SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) shapes. It also includes additional 3D features such as hint() and background transparency. For the optimization enthusiasts, we optimized our code by removing recursion and removing temporary variables where possible.

Get involved!

If you would like to get involved with Processing.js development, or have general usage questions about Processing.js, we would love meet you on IRC: irc://irc.mozilla.org/processing.js You can also get involved by helping with the testing or documentation phase. We are desperately seeking help with documentation.

Processing.js v0.7.1 Released

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Download Processing.js 0.7

We are very pleased to announce the release of Processing.js 0.7.1!

The students at Seneca and the community at large, have been working hard to get some awesome code into the repository. After the release of 0.7 we realized that our implementation of mouse wheel support actually broke the whole script in Chrome/Safari. We ask that anyone that downloaded the 0.7 release upgrade to 0.7.1 as soon as possible.

Get involved!

Processing.js v0.5.0 Released

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Download Processing.js 0.5

We are very pleased to announce the release of Processing.js 0.5!

The students at Seneca and the community at large, have been working hard to get some awesome code into the repository. Many smaller fixes and features have been added. However, the most exiting addition is the implementation of camera functions and a more complete 3D foundation that is now able to render and rotate a box.

Linting

From 0.4 onwards, release code is being linted, beautified and packed before release using some excellent script-fu from David Humprey and tested by fellow release controller (and GitHub master) Corban Brook. This way we will be confident that new releases do not break old functionality, code will be lightweight, ready for deployment and be easier-on-the-eye for future developers.

Run an External Processing.js Sketch

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

It is very easy to load an external sketch with Processing.js. How easy?

Two lines easy!

 <script src="processing.min.js"></script>
 <canvas datasrc="init-example.pjs" width="200" height="200"></canvas>

Try this code

1) Include the “processing.js” JavaScript file.
2) Use the datasrc attribute to specify which Processing sketch you want to load.

This way the sketch is loaded using AJAX, so for security reasons you cannot run cross domain scripts.
