Guess who got another Processing sketch featured in the Sketchpad gallery?
PROCESSING APPLICATION GETS FEATURED
If you haven’t seen the full application at http://joshuadavis.com/xmas/, go there now and make some art. Then share it on Twitter and Facebook.
Brought to you by Joshua Davis, Jon Contino, Chuck Anderson, Si Scott, Eric Fickes, and the entire Satellite Office family.
I wrote a simple 4k drawing tool in Processing tonight. It’s called Fickes Mouse Draw, and it’s a fun example of using the built in events mousePressed() and keyPressed().
PROCESSING RULES
I’m building a new image tool using Processing that extracts colors and various information from an image. It’s dead simple now but I’m getting excited here ( buh bye AIR ).
1. Drop image onto sketch ( only tested gif, jpg, and png so far )
2. Drop It tool extracts the #HEX value of all unique colors and writes a Processing color array to an external text file.
I’ll release the code for this tool after I get a few more features added.
Sweet! Another sketch of mine made it to the sketchpad featured gallery.

Which do you like 1, 2, or 3 ?
I scored another place on the studio gallery with my sketch messy morning
My processing sketch spinning made the Sketchpad Studio Gallery page!
Over the years I’ve wrestled with a good system for archiving code snippets. From posting on blogs, to filling up my hard drive with example files, there hasn’t been a system that stuck with me. If you google up code snippet sharing you’ll find all sorts of sharing services to suite your needs, and they all pretty much do the same thing.
Being a junky for free internet services, I’m trying a new code archiving system that uses GitHub’s gist drops, and Posterous.com’s email publishing. It’s a simple three step process that I’m really digging so far.
In step 3, be sure to make the subject of the email descriptive enough for the code you are sharing. This will become the title of your posterous blog post. Here’s what the final gist drop looks like on Posterous.
In case you haven’t looked into code sharing yet, here are a few to get you started. I wanted to keep this brief, so be sure to check these out on your own to decide which you like best. If you feel that I missed any noteworthy services, please leave a comment below.

If you have MS Excel installed, and you do any sort of form based programming, this trick is right up your alley. Excel’s drag to auto-number is one of my all time favorite features. Often times I end up working on large form based applications and love firing up TextPad and Excel to help shortcut the time it takes to write my form handling code.
This video shows this trick in action. Unfortunately the code is barely legible due to the zoom level, but the concept should still come through.
