Processing Language

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions.

Processing is for writing software to make images, animations, and interactions. The idea is to write a single line of code, and have a circle show up on the screen. 

Code:

void setup(){
  size(480,120); 
  ellipse(50,50,60,60);

}

void draw(){

  

}

The size(width,height) function has two parameters: the first sets the width of window and the second sets the height of window. 

The ellipse(x,y,width,height) function has four parameters: the first sets the x-coordinate of center, the second sets the y-coordinate of center, the third sets the width of ellipse and fourth sets the height of ellipse. The x and y coordinates for ellipse are the center of the shape. Processing doesn't have separate functions to make circle. To make this shape, use the same value for the width and the height parameters to ellipse().

I think Processing is interesting because I can use my knowledge of math to draw something or teach children how to draw square, rectangle, circle only using lines of code.
