Processing IDE on Play Store

Processing for Android
1

Is anyone familiar with this Processing IDE app on the Google Play store?

Is it similar to the free and open source ADPE? I can’t verify who the developer “Peter the Great” is, as it links to a Chinese web page. Anyone tried it?

Hi @robertesler,

This is interesting! :wink:

Translated from this page:

01Why do you want to make a product like Processing?

In order to better learn Processing creative programming, so that everyone who loves creative programming can have a better platform
02Why the name Processing?

Processing is the representative of creative programming, and I hope to use this name to let better people use our product.
03 Who developed Processing?

This product is planned and developed by https://www.processing.love/站长, a small dish and an old bird, in order to provide a good platform for Chinese creative programming and efforts :muscle:
04 What should I do if I encounter problems or get upset?

Please contact 1611641037@qq.com to give me email feedback, I will reply to your questions as soon as possible.

And it links to a chinese Processing forum: https://www.processing.love/
And this other website: http://iprocessing.cn/
They even have their own online p5js editor: https://www.processing.love/assets/files/online_run_p5.html

Is there any Chinese on the forum that know this forum? :nerd_face:

Hi,

Also there is a user named Peter, even if not called “the Great” :slight_smile:
https://www.processing.love/u/peter

Maybe you can contact him on the forum and ask if it is made by him …

Cheers

It’s a very interesting Chinese localization for Processing and its many flavors. :icecream:

However, it’s pretty much violating the GPL license, b/c they don’t have any link pointing to the changes made to the original Processing’s source code. :face_with_peeking_eye:

I looked at a few of the message threads with Google Translate and it’s funny to see that things are the same everywhere :smile: “Help, urgent!!!”

I also thought that the app could be a violation of the GPL license but wasn’t sure if this was sanctioned by the Processing Foundation or licensed in some way. My guess it’s a violation and should be reported to Google.
Can anyone confirm that this is not associated with the Processing Foundation?

Hi,

Just for your information…

I was curious and downloaded the app and did a quick test within the time frame Google Play allows for refunds.

I didn’t manage to get a sketch working on my S22, neither for p5js nor for processing java, but honestly I didn’t expect anything else. :slight_smile:

But the app revealed the developer and it is indeed the user from above, at least the app links to his profile…

Cheers
