This is the method that I used to get processing.py sketches to run in VScode. You will need: Java to be installed and added to path The file processing-py.jar The Code runner extension To get the first two items refer to the tutorial on how to run processing.py sketches on the command line her…

very nice! I’m doing a presentation about creative coding with Python and this will be very useful, thanks for sharing!

I was wondering if anyone starting Processing from VS Code or from the command line know how to control the location of the Processing application? I’m running in two screens, and I’d like to set where the sketch will show up on the screen after launch.

I have not tested it (because I don’t have a second monitor right now), but see if fullscreen() would help: https://py.processing.org/reference/fullScreen.html fullScreen() fullScreen(display) fullScreen(renderer) fullScreen(renderer, display) Known issues: https://github.com/jdf/processing.py/is…

hi I got an error as this: [Running] java -jar processing-py.jar mouse_follow.py ‘java’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. and i have no idea what to do, would you help me?

Hi, tbh its been so long that I don’t remember how this works. However since then I’ve moved onto use p5py a pure python implementation of processing which means you don’t have to fiddle around with java or extensions (Although you do have to get glfw which took me a while). After using p5py for a…

[image] fenjalien: my own implementation built on top of pyglet . How cool! I’d love to see that! I have been dabbling with flat (a Python library) which is good for print/static/SVG stuff, but not animations/interactions.
