11 - Processing 101 - Creating Text

[neokaia1]

I found your class today, and I watched all ...

I see that was last posted in 2009, did you quit? or there are more lessons?

Please send more tutorials ...

[bobbygD]

upload more please. This is great

[kassie2k4]

Are you going to do any more tutorials for Processing? I'm interested in learning it and I've been looking at these good tutorials.

[dinorama13]

void setup()

{ size(500,500); background(128); smooth(); noLoop();

}

int centerX=0;

int centerY=height/2;

void draw()

{ ellipse(centerX,centerY,70,70)­;

}

can someone please tell me why this piece of code is giving me a circle with center as (0,0).

i may be stupid but i really need to know why. :P

@dinorama13 Hey, i Just saw your comment and tried to find out why this doesn't work and I found out how to do this. (Hopefully you haven't worked it out yet). void setup() { size(500,500); background(128); smooth(); noLoop(); } void draw() {int centerX=width/2; int centerY=height/2; ellipse(centerX,centerY,70,70)­; } It has to be set out like that. int centerX=width/2; int centerY=height/2; has to be in void draw. Its because of the noLoop it didn't work. Happy to help. :)

@sebadam2007

thnks a lot!!

seemed like a simple enough program but just couldnt figure out why it wasnt woking!

well...i got it now so thnks agn!

[sebadam2007]

@dinorama13 No problemo!

[sebadam2007]

@dinorama13 Also about the information about why it didn't work. Well, I kinda know. The noLoop() means that something that is drawed or something wont loop.(Means that it wont write again and again(So basically it wont be seen(Written))) So you need to put (int centerX=width/2; int centerY=height/2;) in the void draw() so that it will be looped.. I think that is why.

[sebadam2007]

@dinorama13 Also, int centerX=0; should've been int centerX=width/2; otherwise it wouldn't of worked.

Hi just a quick question, how would i go about programming a liquid/shiny substance in processing? Its one of my exercises and i wouldn't have the faintest idea on how to do it :S

Cheers

[Lakes57]

Very good clear tutorials, hope to see more posted.

[jessemerrell]

great tutorials! thanks for uploading. they are helping me teach myself processing.

are there any more after "creating text" ? you talked about some other tutorials, but they dont seem to be posted.

[VeraSvenningson]

Taking a course on Processing at the moment and you are helping me alot!

I would really Love to see more tutorials.

[Gggorm]

Vey well done tutorial series. I want to become a programmer now.

Would love to see more, if you are still planning to make.

[boogiewheels]

I just finished your tutorials and they were great! Thank you for posting. Can't wait for the next ones.

[theacrossell]

love the tuts any chance of the midi one soon? Really looking forward to it. thanks.

[Alexandreitsme]

Thanks those tutorials are great they keep me when I am about to give up and I always learn more every I replay them. Thanks can't wait for the following.

[rheeoozeen]

Thanks a lot! Where can I get more processing tutorials?

[tomsgypsy]

great series, excited for learning about midi and libraries, great teaching style

[keyboarddude1973]

dvice for anyone usng this text. changed it to BookmanOldStyle-Bold 48, and it rks great... Thanks fo vid, great

[baldmanwithBIGlegs]

watched all 11 again recently and learned more again!

[joaographic]

Great tutorials, very helpful! Can't wait to get into midi input!

When will we have that pleasure? :)

[ste1438]

@joaographic This month - You actually stumbled on these at a good time. I haven't uploaded any tutorials for processing in a while.

[joaographic]

@ste1438 Great timing then! hehe I'll be waiting..

[FlaireAZMR]

@ste1438 Very nice tutorials, the well defined steps are really easy to follow :).

You said 2 months ago that you'd upload more processing tutorials that month, but you haven't put them out yet. Any idea when you'll put more up?

Thanks

[itsmeohmeandme]

Can you upload more? :D

[eagledumb]

hey all your tutorials have been really helpful to me for getting started with Processing. Thanks a bunch and hope to see the next tutorial soon! :)

[halfvvvv]

I'm waiting for the next one. Thanks a lot.

[stalker77]

You can't imagine how helpful this has been. Can't wait for the next tutorial. By the way, how often are you uploading them?

[ste1438]

Not eften as I'd like to - It's real hard to find time. I'll be posting more though. I'll probably upload a few all at the same time.

[stalker77]

i was wondering if i could ask you a small question, seeing how you know a lot about processing...what does "map" do (in plain english)? I tried to understand what it does by definition, but I can't quite explain it. I know it works, but I don't understand how to explain it works.

[ste1438]

Easiest way to think of it - it's a ratio. If I had a point(x.y) on 100x100 square, and I needed to map that same point(exact location) on other squares with different dimensions even proportions. I could use the map statement to do that. The x value for a 100x100 square is some numer between 0 and 100. Lets say 10. The map statement will find a value for x between a new range. Let say a 200x200 square. x is now betweenn 0 and 200. x=20.

[stalker77]

thank you so much. I got it perfectly, now let's hope i my professor gets it and believes I truly understand. thanks for everything and best of luck :D

[silentdisturbance]

any more processing tutorials?? that'd be great

[ste1438]

Yeah - More to come:)

[yerman81]

Thanks!!!

[YAS62ftw]

You deserve a medal or a cookie or something.

You help us non-computer-savvy-types so much.

Good work!

[TheSchetsofiel69]

Good tutorial again. I realy want to know why you use Processing with Midi. Because i bought FL because of your tutorials, i use Processing because of your tutorials (i always used Basic). I want to know why you use Processing to make music. :) Keep up the good work!

[ste1438]

I'm not using it for music - I'm using to sync midi with graphic visuals. Similar to the kind of visuals you see in Windows media player or win amp, but a lot more true to the music. Not just beat detection driven graphic, Every element can be visualized - notes, velocity, pitch, tempo, panning...

[Christoffer2640]

Thanks alot. Very helpful, and im looking forward to the next videos. Keep uploading!

[barkly54]

you showed many good things thack can be done with text

[MasterJake777]

Nice video!
