I am totally infatuated with travel. This project has an interesting take on generating infographics showing where people are traveling to.

The idea is simple: Find tweets that contain this phrase, parse out the location they’d just landed in, along with the home location they list on their Twitter profile, and use this to map out travel in the Twittersphere

This game is a light-hearted remake of the old classic, except with a cosmic twist! The original game of Pong involved each player controlling a paddle which they would use to bounce a ball back to their opponent, in the hope they would miss. Each time the ball touched the opponent’s side of the screen, the player would win a point. In this remake, each player now controls a black hole! The objective; to position their black hole on their side of the screen and utilise its gravitational potential to fling an approaching star back. Whoever lets a star slip past loses!

Google Web API developer’s kit provides a programming interface to query web pages through Google from our own computer programs. This library is a processing wrapper for Google Web API. There are some limitations in terms of maximum numbers of query per a day. However, Google Web API has great potential to allow Processing users to create sketch pieces enriched by huge amount of data available through Google.

gicentreUtils

A library by giCentre.org to assist creating data visualization sketches with Processing.

Packages in the library include colour utilities, statistical graphics, morphing classes, spatial utilities and map projections, text input/output classes and multi-sketch tools. All are fully documented with example sketches to illustrate how to use them in your own Processing code.

For queries about the library see the Processing Forum or email us directly: gicentre ‘at’ soi.city.ac.uk.

The MaxLink java libraries enable communication between Processing and Max/MSP 4.5+ on both Mac and Windows.

Version 0.36 is available for download. It provides basic support for sending and receiving messages between Processing and Max, a Max object for launching Processing sketches, and some tools for creative networking.

MaxLink works by multicasting UDP messages over the local subnet. It uses a specific namespace protocol to match the inlets and outlets of Max objects with declared inputs and outputs of a Java processes (including Processing sketches).

Several simple examples are included in the download package. It only takes a few lines of code to get your Processing sketch talking to Max.
