A stylized graphic with the words "BUILDING BRIDGES" in large, bold, uppercase letters. The top half of the text is in a gradient of cyan blue, while the bottom half transitions into a magenta purple. The text is overlaid with vertical white lines that create a visual distortion effect, giving it a dynamic, glitch-like appearance.

Rare, old Proce55ing photo from April 2002. Yikes!

A photograph of an early version of the Processing (then styled as "Proce55ing") development environment running on a Mac desktop interface. The window displays a sketch with simple code using void setup() and void loop() functions, drawing a series of diagonal lines. Next to the editor is a small output window showing the visual result of the code. In the background, a Finder window is open, showing the directory contents of the "processing-0024" folder, including subfolders like "fonts", "lib", "reference" and "sketchbook." This image dates from April 2002 and captures an early stage in the development of Processing.

A macOS installation window for Processing, showing a blue Processing.app icon on the left and an Applications folder on the right, with an arrow between them indicating the app should be dragged into the folder. The background is blue with a grid pattern, and there are playful, blue geometric characters with eyes in the corners of the window.

@processing The py5 (@py5coding, py5coding.org/) #Python library is built on top of #Processing 4 so every #py5 tagged post here on Mastodon is also a #builtWithProcessing post :D
