I dabble in lots of things, but lately I’ve been dabbling in the programming language Processing (wiki). It’s a simplified Java language designed for displaying graphics and animation, and I’m enjoying learning how to use it. It’s like a glorified TI-83 calculator really. I remember back in fifth grade learning how to use the programming of the calculator to make a number counter and another program to calculate the area of a trapezoid. I think that’s all I did in math class from sixth to eighth grade.
But you can view my first experiment on the web! I know it’s sick isn’t it. And I can speed up Pacman or slow him down. I can all sorts of stuff. That’s the power of programming!
