Processing Editor for BIG Projects

Processing
1

Hey, I’ve been programming with Processing for 2 years and now have a slightly larger project. I need a lot of classes in this project. So that it remains superfluous for me, I need a lot of tabs. The problem with Processing is that it doesn’t support as many tabs as I need.

Here an Example:

Processing
Processing1280×800 88.7 KB

So is there an editor for windows and macOS wich have

  • code completion,
  • color marking for functions ect and
  • can run the project?

like processing have?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

it only offers simple code completion but processing-vscode is a good option

as in readme you have to first install processing-java from the processing IDE.

Theres also eclipse. However this ide requires java syntax as opposed to processing syntax to run the code. And all new java files must use the processing import.
I also like VScode!

you also have to add the processing core.jar file to the project folder and add to the build path.
usually found in

C:\Program Files (x86)\processing\core\library

the jar file can be added to the project folder with a simple click and drag operation.
You must then add the file to the build path.

right click on the file will give you this option.

Here is a template for an eclipse project, be sure to rename the important parts to what you want the name of your sketch to be.

package testBench;

import processing.core.PApplet;

public class MySketch extends PApplet {

	public void settings() {
		size(500, 500);
	};

	public void draw(){
		background(64);
		ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, 20, 20);
	};
  
	public static void main(String[] args) {
	  PApplet.main(MySketch.class.getName());
	}
};

Wow, thanks for the exact description :slight_smile:
I am going to try it.
The only problem is that my project which I started in processing then has to write again.

See the small arrow on the right, pointing down? Here you get a list of the tabs. There also used to be a tool fir this
