Hello,

I gleaned through the available resources and there may be something for you in there.

> I encourage you to review the resources available here:
> 
> - The Processing _website_ has references, examples, tutorials, etc.  
> [https://processing.org/](https://processing.org/)
> - The Processing PDE (IDE) has lots to offer!  
> An exploration of the tabs will reveal what is available; libraries, tools and local examples there.
> - The Coding Train

> [https://thecodingtrain.com/](https://thecodingtrain.com/)
> - Happy Coding  
> [Processing Tutorials - Happy Coding](https://happycoding.io/tutorials/processing/)
> - The source code can give insight if you are adventurous:  
> [GitHub - processing/processing: Source code for the Processing Core and Development Environment (PDE)](https://github.com/processing/processing)  
> Many of the Processing functions are here:  
> [processing/core/src/processing/core/PApplet.java at master · processing/processing · GitHub](https://github.com/processing/processing/blob/master/core/src/processing/core/PApplet.java)
> - The Processing Foundation  
> [https://processingfoundation.org/](https://processingfoundation.org/)  
> Check out the tabs.  
> In the education tab, there is a reference to the Coding Train.
> - And the Internet. `:)`
