Processing

Processing is an open-source creative coding platform designed for visual artists, designers, and students. It’s widely used in the TAP program to explore animation, simulation, and creative logic through code. With its simplified Java-like syntax, students can create visually rich experiences from scratch.

🎨 What Students Have Created with Processing

TAP students have used Processing to design generative art, build arcade-style games, and experiment with interactive visualizations. In Alien Invader, students created a space-themed shooter using keyboard controls and custom sprites. Fruit Rain was reimagined in Processing for smoother animation and better collision handling. Artify AI blended procedural visuals with AI-generated prompts to create interactive artwork.

Processing projects emphasize math, timing, and logic while offering immediate visual feedback—making it perfect for developing problem-solving and creative expression skills.
