haXe Forum > Processing.hx?

• Andy Li Feb 03 at 21:38

  Hello everyone!

  I have just started playing with haxe for some time and I have a project proposal... Processing.hx, which is the haxe port of Processing.

  If you haven't heard of it, Processing is a programming language which is on top of Java, aims for creating interactive visual contents.

  There is Processing.js which is a JS/canvas port, and later Processing.as which is a Flash port. So... why not impress everyone with a haxe port?

  It will be even more interesting if you guys finish the Java target of haxe... Which means a Java language ported to haxe and can be compiled back to Java...

  It think there is no port, because no one needed a port till today. I played arround with processing.js a while ago. You could easily use it together with the haXe JavaScript target using extern classes (but this only works for the JavaScript target and still requires the original processing.js file).

  It looks like the library is work in process... so maybe better to consider a port once they have finished?

  Thanks for your replies!
  Actually I am planning to start it once I am more familiar with haxe and when I'm not as busy as these few months. I am not asking for someone to port it for me but anyone has the same interest that can at least give some suggestions :)

  @Philipp Klose
  I know what you mean. But I have looked into processing.js and processing.as, both of them have not fully implemented the functions of processing. I think it is because of the different between the languages. It is where haxe can help. Processing.hx could be more complete and run faster than the two ports.

  @Justin L Mills
  Processing itself has reached stable release, which is now 1.0.9. Its 1.0 release is over a year ago. I think it should be the time. :)
