Processing : a programming language for artists. What is processing? ; Bold strides and baby steps ; Hello world ; Programmatic drawing ; Functions, parameters, and color values ; Strokes, styles and co-ordinates ; Variables ; Fills, alpha values, and drawing order ; Structure, logic, and animation ; The frame loop ; Writing your own functions ; Operators ; Conditionals ; Looping ; While loops ; Leaving traces ; For loops ; Saving, publishing, and distributing your work ; Version control ; Creating stills ; Using a still as an alt image ; Creating video ; Frame rates and screen sizes ; Mobile devices, iPhone/iPad, and Android ; Summary -- Part 2. Randomness and noise. 3. The wrong way to draw a line. Randomness and not-so-randomness ; Iterative variance ; Naturalistic variance ; Perlin noise in processing ; Creating your own noise ; A custom random function ; 4. The wrong way to draw a circle. Rotational drawing ; Drawing your first circle ; Turning a circle into a spiral ; Noisy spirals ; Creating your own noise, revisited ; Case study: Wave clock ; 5. Adding dimensions. Two-dimensional noise ; Creating a noise grid ; Noise visualizations ; Noisy animation ; The third dimension ; Drawing in 3D space ; Three-dimensional noise ; The wrong way to draw a sphere ; Summary -- Part 3. Complexity. 6. Emergence.
