[SOLVED] Project grown too huge - best way to maintain it w/ sanity?

[GoToLoop]

Before even moving your sketch project to another IDE, you should convert all your “.pde” tabs (w/ the exception of the 1st main tab) to have a “.java” extension instead.

Those classes inside “.java” files will need to import processing.core.PApplet.

And then request the sketch’s PApplet reference on their constructor.

Does Processing support packages?

We can mix “.pde” w/ “.java” files together in the same sketch project folder. We can optionally use keyword package inside “.java” files. And then optionally use keyword import inside “.pde” files in order to access classes and interfaces inside those “.java” files. Take a look at these 2 sketch links containing both “.pde” & “.java” files on them:
