Nice implementation of Processing

Frogg GmbH´s implementation of a Processing IDE for iOS is straightforward and easy to use both for the beginner and for the experienced Processing developer. It s nice to be able to test out simple to moderately complex sketches on the go. I do have a few suggestions: 1) a simple help system for beginners focusing on iOS-specific interactions with the hardware would be nice (camera, accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS? but, perhaps, some of these have not been or will not be implemented), 2) integration with other software tools (for instance, GitHub clients such as Working Copy), 3) a means to create and interact with a “data” directory and to import and export resources, and 4) a means to interact over Serial with external devices (ultimately, Arduinos, etc) would be nice. Thanks for taking the time to create a fine app.

Please Let us know the limitations

Love this for playing around on my phone.

I understand wanting payment for advanced features like debug messages.

But please put a list of the major limitations of the compiler somewhere. Through reading reviews it seems that vectors and maybe functions with parameters are not supported. But a list from the Dev would be much appreciated.

It’s okay, but importing doesn’t work

I get it’s open source and free to use (I’d pay for it if a: there were a list of features I’d get for that, and b: I could find the in-app purchase page), but the import project folder feature doesn’t work. If this is something that’s a benefit for paying users, it should either be disabled or lead to the subscription page. A coder-friendly keyboard would be a plus, but I can manage. For doing quick Processing sketches on the fly, it’s good enough but don’t expect to be able to do more complex projects.
