So my computer science is requiring us to make a game as a term long project. When I asked the teacher what API we are going to be using he said processing. I was a little confused at first but that aside, has anyone here used it and what do they think. Oh yeah don't just say its shit because its java, I already know that but my school only teaches java and assembly code.
For those who don't know what processing is, here is the link to the website.

Also if you have any tips that you would like to share... =D
It's really good for simple prototypes and artsy graphics stuff, but for anything advanced like games it's just too simple.
I think it's designed for pretty graphical things and visualisations. But like Dlaor said, it's kinda hard to make games with it. Ask if you can use Python + PyGame or something like that.
Processing has a great potential to make any basic game, you can go into enough depth to make many simple 2D arcade game e.g. pack man/space invaders/asteroids ... the program also has a networking library which although primitive is usable .. you can get some ideas from [url]http://www.openprocessing.org/[/url] to possibly jump-start your project.
Most of the processing specific classes/methods are described and shown in the built in examples and the rest can be found on the website :)
I'd be happy to help as I'm also working on a Processing Project
Slick2D is a good java game library

Yes!
But i have a feeling the poster is assigned to specifically use Processing .. if not that is a much better alternative although not suited to novice programmers as Processing is.
