Announcing PR0C0D1N6: Processing.js IDE for iOS
Finally: I’m very proud to announce a Processing.js IDE for iOS. After about two years of development, hesitation and despair, coding and fun, PR0C0D1N6 for iOS will be available soon! I’m currently beginning the beta-testing phase. PR0C0D1N6 will be a universal app, running both on the iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch.
Requirements:
– iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch (preferably at least iPad 1, iPhone 3GS)
– iOS 5 (sorry, it’s just impossible to do this for iOS 4 and below)
Features:
– Edit & run processing(js) pde sketches on device
– Syntax Highlighter
– PDE File import/export via iTunes Sharing
– Easily accessible documentation
At this point, the app is running quite smooth, there are just a few quirks and things that could be improved. And I’m fighting with a couple of bugs and system restrictions. But there’s really not that much to do anymore… See for yourself (Screenshots below!)
PR0C0D1N6 uses processingjs, a JavaScript port of the processing language and relies on Mobile Safari. Therefore some features of Processing aren’t supported:
– No Errorconsole, but you can use print(), println() and alert() to debug
– No 3D (P3D)
– No libraries
– No file storage & file read/write (Web-Import works though)
– No multiple PDE files (means external classes), but classes in one file work
I hope you’re as excited as I am!
I don’t want to give dates, but I’m pretty confident that the app will be released in a couple of weeks. The app has been created at the AppStore and I’m just about to start the beta reviewing process. If you absolutely cannot wait, add a comment and I’ll contact you how to apply for the beta program. Oh, wow, what a feedback… I’m closing the beta call, otherwise I can’t handle the feedback. Stay tuned everybody!
Update February 14th: The app has been approved. …and the update v 1.1.1 has just been submitted; featuring a Nightmode dark editor theme, full Retina-Display, insert-snippet-from-reference, motion (gyro & accelerometer) support, super nice demos and lots of important bug fixes (keyCode & setup-Styles). X your fingers…

I set up a project page: processing.audiocommander.de.
If you are interested to apply as a Beta-tester, please leave a comment here and I will contact you!Wow, thanks for the feedback. I’m closing the Beta call now, stay tuned…This is amazing
Processing fan, great idea (esp since code sketch pad type apps have now been approved in App Store), would love to have a test

Looks like a good idea. I want to try the beta.
I am just about to start learning processing and would love to do this on my iPad. Please consider adding me to your beta testing team.
At last! I’ve been expecting and hoping someone would do this, partially because it could be “easy” by wrapping a webview. But it looks like you’re not only first but have treated this seriously and have built the app that will finally let me sit on the couch with only an iPad.
I’d love to beta, of course.
yes please
I would love to participate as beta tester for PRO55351N6
Thanks
Right on!
Fantastic! I would like to test it, too.
Thanks!
Out of the blue, but v exciting. I’d love to make things for iPhone w Processing. Please let me try the beta.
Cooles Ding! Bin gespannt.
Wow. This might be great teaching and learning enviroments. Can’t wait to try it…
I can not wait!
I wish it support touch gesture! will it?
Ohhh!! Thats awsome!! Thanks!
Hello.
This is incredibly exciting. I had already been ectatic when Daniel Hodgin (of Processing.js fame) had annoucned he had been working on something like this but unfortunately his attempt seemed to peter out eventually.
I know the offer for betas has expired and that you’re currently in AppStore “Review”. I’m just curious to know if you have any idea of when the app will be released because I’m getting ready for a long trip to a very remote place and I was hoping to be able to load this onto my iPad and pratice my coding skills while I’m away.
Keep up with the good work, this is fabulous news.
Hi Qubex,
The beta testing is finished, at this point I can only guess that the app will be available within the next two weeks – by the end of January. Does this help? (Making me very curious about this very remote place…)
It’ll also have only ~4 MB, so it can be loaded via cell network.
Cheers,
Michael
Alaska for ionospheric research (think aurora borealis).
Is there some form of email warning I can subscribe to so that I don’t miss it when it’s released?
@qubex, wow, cool (indeed) – you can follow me on twitter (@audiocommander), subscribe to this pages comments RSS feed or the feed of this blog and you’ll get notified.
If you depart to Alaska before February 1st, drop me a line and I’ll compile a special version for you! I think it’s really important that you can take PR0C3551N6 with you. (^_^)
Best, Michael
Can’t wait! this is exciting!
Hi, is there a mailinglist to be notified when your app is being released?
@Tom, no not yet, but you can add this comments feed or the feed of my blog to your mail reader: feed://www.audiocommander.de/blog/?feed=atom …or you can follow me on Twitter: @audiocommander
I’ll post an reply here once I know about the status and a new blog entry once it’s out.
Still no news? :(
No, sorry, still in review. I will contact you by E-Mail and compile a beta version for you!
