resources:

processing will be used to implement the techniques learned in lectures, and will form a key part of your continuous assesment.
it will be available on the lab machines shortly. until then, the software can be downloaded and ran from the desktop of the lab machines without any problems. (the version without java works fine, and is a smaller download)

sample code:
1: transformation using 2D matrix multiplication... (.pde)
2: clock... (.zip)
3: simple 2D robot... (.pde)
4: 3D cone... (.pde)
5: simple 3D robot... (.zip)
