For those of you who don’t know, Processing is a software sketchbook that is exceptional at creating visual applications. The language is very simple to pick up, and since it makes code very visual, it is a great starting point for people who want to learn to code. While I was learning Processing, I made several small projects, however, the two I wanted to show are not big enough for a dedicated post so I decided I would group them together in this one. I probably won’t go back to improve these projects, I just thought they were fun to develop when I was still learning Processing. I apologize for any bugs that you may find.

How to play

If for some reason you wanted to play these games you will need to download Processing available for free here. You then clone the repositories (linked below) and run the file specified below.

Floppy Bird

Ya this is just a FlappyBird rip off which is much worse than the original, nothing much left to say. The controls simply consists of the spacebar which makes the bird fly up. The main goal is the same as Flappy Bird which is just to make the bird not hit the pipes. This game is incomplete as you can’t get an end game (it just turns the background red) and it does not keep track of the score. Here is a picture from the actual running of the game: The repository for this is available here. To run the game, just run “flappyBird.pde” in the processing application. Try to beat my highscore of 15, though you’re gonna need to count yourself.

Snek

This is the snake game just much more wonky. You use arrow keys to move the square (snake) to try and get the apple, and help the snake grow larger. You can lose in this game by running into yourself or the wall. Here is some pictures from the actual running of the game:

The repo for this is available here. To run the game, just run “snake.pde” in the processing application. Try to beat my highscore of 17!
