Learn PROCESSING-JAVA with Real Code Examples

Animated bouncing balls with mouse interaction

Generative art using Perlin noise or randomness

3D rotating cubes and shapes using P3D renderer

Audio visualizations with Minim or Sound library

Interactive data visualizations for real-world datasets

Check IDE console for syntax or runtime errors

Ensure canvas size is set before drawing

Verify library installation and import statements

Avoid heavy computation in `draw()` for smoother animation

Use `frameRate()` to control loop speed if animation is too fast or slow

Run sketches in IDE to verify visuals and interactivity

Check library functions and dependencies

Validate input/output events (mouse, keyboard, sensors)

Test exported application across platforms

Profile animation frame rate for smooth performance

Export desktop applications (Windows, Mac, Linux)
