Leave a Review Processing & p5.js iCompiler
Thanks for the update!
Thank you so much for this update! I’ve been waiting for something like this for ages! With this new update, programming with Processing on my iPad became such a better experience!
Thanks for the great app!A Wilson Programming
This could be awesome
The basic implementation for Processing is done well. Seems like a few functions are missing, but a great start. To make this a 5 star app and worldwide adoption, consider the following suggestions. If time is the issue, I bet many users would be willing to pay $1 or more to complete this.
1) implement Processing version 3 functions so sketches are fully portable
2) add multi-file support
3) add library capability with some type of library manager to import or delete libs
4) add capability to import and export sketches to a host computer. Maybe use Dropbox or or other existing file sharing tool
I look forward to future enhancements.Show lesstbitson
No dev support
The app is a buggy, and don’t expect support. I’ve emailed the devs, and never got a reply. Project naming is broken, so you can’t name files with underscores or numbers, which is common for processing sketches. More complex effects such as blendMode(); don’t work. Simple sketches are possible, but if you want to make something more complex you’ll have to resort to video editing apps, or using a real IDE on a desktop.Show lessthetypebeast
Developer Response
Hey this app is free and open source. Please fix it yourself before giving me 2 stars 😥Amazing!!!
I would rate this five stars because it makes experimenting with quick stuff much easier, even runs when offline which makes it perfect.RawaZz95
We need error messages!!
This is a good app in lots of ways. But Processing is meant to be about encouraging beginners & amateurs to program (something I strongly agree with)—and that means it has got to have error messages. A blank black screen is just not acceptable, especially for beginners. How many times do you think people are going to bother scouring through their code to find where they've missed out a ) or typed : instead of ; or written printLn instead of println? I would guess not many: they'll get frustrated and just give up, when a simple error message could have enabled them to fix the problem in ten seconds.Show lessDescriptivist
Good for begginers
This app made me love coding and it made me want to learn the basics after I did something simple like draw a square but now you have a way to code wherever you’d like for FREE. I do wish it had tools to help beginners and syntax error messages so that I knew where to fix my mistakes but for an app this simple and free it deserves five stars it’s just such a great app!!!!!!!Show lessBeginner in coding
Great app but wont support PVector class
great app really really love it you should really get it!
thare are three main problems for me tho...
1)
PVectors wont work for some reason.
2)
no else statmnt.
3)
this is beary important it doesn’t have arror messages.
but i really love this app so im gona go ahead and give is the five stars is deserves enyway.Show lessLive_Destin
Awesome!
This app is awesome. Works perfectly and is really fun to play around with!Astro girl 1111
Nice implementation of Processing
Frogg GmbH´s implementation of a Processing IDE for iOS is straightforward and easy to use both for the beginner and for the experienced Processing developer. It s nice to be able to test out simple to moderately complex sketches on the go. I do have a few suggestions: 1) a simple help system for beginners focusing on iOS-specific interactions with the hardware would be nice (camera, accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS? but, perhaps, some of these have not been or will not be implemented), 2) integration with other software tools (for instance, GitHub clients such as Working Copy), 3) a means to create and interact with a “data” directory and to import and export resources, and 4) a means to interact over Serial with external devices (ultimately, Arduinos, etc) would be nice. Thanks for taking the time to create a fine app.Show lesscvonnagy
Okay app
The app is okay because it allows you to create programs and run them, but is lacking in a few places.
For one, there are no error messages. This makes correcting your code unnecessarily difficult for even fixing a simple mistake like a missing semicolon.
Secondly, the formatting is a bit off. Else statements will throw the formatting of the whole code off and you have to type very specifically for some of the coloring to work (An example being you must have parenthesis directly after an "if" for it to be colored). While the coloring isn't necessary, it would be nice for it to work.
Another somewhat minor issue is that you can swipe from the left hand of the screen to go back to your code. This means if a user of your code actually has to perform this action in some hypothetical program, it will just end it and go straight back to the code, inevitably frustrating them and the programmer. I ran into this problem when drawing with a piece of code I made.
And lastly, the output strictly only shows 2 lines. There is no clear option to make the output larger or to perhaps split the output with the drawing screen.
Overall I would have given this app 3 stars but I couldn't because it lacks error messages, which are pretty essential to programming.Show lessBranster707
