Hello folks! A Processing sketch that reports detailed system and environment diagnostics at runtime. Designed to solve real-world project issues, this sketch blends system diagnostics with AI-assisted development (ChatGPT & Gemini). Building it demanded technical expertise, close oversight, criti…

If you are using P2D or P3D, it can also be handy to print out your GPU and OpenGL versions: PJOGL pgl = (PJOGL) beginPGL(); println( pgl.getString( PGL.VENDOR ) ); println( pgl.getString( PGL.RENDERER ) ); println( pgl.getString( PGL.VERSION ) ); println( pgl.getString( PGL.SHADING_LANGU…

Great work @glv , I already started something similar, when you click the version number in the PDE it will copy some of this information to the clipboard.

We could use the debug connection to the sketch to gather some of this data as well.

[image] glv: It will certainly require more work and updates! I originally started this to determine which version of Processing was being used in VS Code when I changed the settings.json file to different versions. And somehow that got missed! VS Code for Processing settings.json file: { …
