Setting up eclipse for Processing

Prerequisite:
  • 1.Basic knowledge of Android
  • 1.Basic knowledge of eclipse
I have found that the easiest way to build heavily UI based apps (read:games) is to use Processing . Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions. Processing-2.0a4 supports the android SDK as well, and you can use the processing tool to port games to Windows, Mac, Android as well as flash.
My project used 5 'processing classes'(pde files), open in 5 tabs.
There were two problems I disliked about processing:
  1. It was not possible to implement levels using only the Processing tool.
  2. Even though each of the tabs open in the window above were compiled to separate classes, they were inner classes of the class Invaders2
The former problem could be solved by implementing each level as a separate processing project and later integrating all the main classes using eclipse. Now the question is, if I have to use eclipse to get the final result, why not use it from the start? In my case, that would also help me reuse the classes "ship","bullet","comet","cometfield" instead of them being defined as inner classes in each level's class.
So I looked a little, to sees if i could utilize processing within eclipse. ie if i could get the familiarity and functions of eclipse, with the simplicity of the processing language.

Turns out, when processing is hugely dependent on java. All of its methods are built upon javax methods. When it exports to java code for android, it adds a new library called "processing-core.jar" as a reference. That is all you need to add to your eclipse project in java and voila, you can code using the processing language in eclipse environment.

Hello there, I do think your blog could be having internet browser compatibility problems.
Whenever I take a look at your blog in Safari, it

Fixing toolbar resolution on 4k windows10

The IT department at work recently upgraded me from a 2K display Windows 7 laptop to a 4K display Windows 10 laptop. The recommended (and I suspect default) resolution on this system is 3840x2160 and recommended size of apps/text is 250%. The issue with these settings is that not all apps scale properly.  As a result, some of my frequented apps were rendered weird - either the toolbar was too small or the navigation pane had huge icons. If you are facing similar issues, the steps listed here should work. Before the WAR: After the WAR: Step 1 Create a file called <app name>.exe.manifest. Step2 Edit the file to include the dxi settings <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"> <appli

Dlna and Android Tv

An efficient way of sharing content from your PC to your TV. In the past, before the creation and popularity of Chromecast, televisions used to support this protocol called DLNA. The flow of DLNA was simply a client server communication. The television would be a client to DLNA, listening for DLNA servers. The server would advertise it's catalogue and allow the client to stream content. With the advent of DIAL, the focus shifted on remotely launching apps on the television. This provides benefit of streaming from the internet in addition to local content (DLNA servers could only stream local content). Google further added the option of casting your screen remotely (wis-a-wis AirPlay). The Chrome browser allowed you to cast whole desktop without extra software. This changed the television manufacturers' focus and DLNA became a thing of the past. Here's where my problem starts. Chromecast works great on windows but is lacking on Linux. Also, casting lags in comparison to s
