Processing 4.0

I worked closely with Ben Fry on expanding and improving Processing’s development environment for the 4.0 release. This effort involved major updates for the PDE: incorporating new features, fixing existing issues, drawing better glyphs and new application icons, and creating a system for generating more welcoming sketch names.

I also designed a programmatic system for generating custom color themes to personalize the interface and offer better options for legibility and contrast.

A few dozen of these themes are built into Processing to make the development environment that much more accessible for the global community of students, educators, programmers, artists and others who use these tools across a broad range of contexts.
