STRUCTURE DE BASE

void setup(){

// any instructions here are processed just once during initial 'setup'

}
void draw(){

// any instructions here are looped at roughly 60fps }

// COMMENTS + DEBUG

/* this is a multiline comment. nothing between here will be run or executed */ // this is a single line comment println(foo); // writes the value of 'foo' to the console, use to learn value of variable!

// BASIC STYLE ATTRIBUTES

background(0); //sets background black (test having and not having in draw function ) size(640, 480); //sets canvas size to 640px * 480px size(screen.width, screen.height); //full screen canvas frameRate(15); //default frameRate is 30, only change when necessary noFill(); // turns off the fill of any object following this code fill(255); // turns fill on and sets color to white (note, one value for grayscale) fill(255, 145, 90, 150); // same but with color (r, g, b) + alpha as 4th digit noStroke(); // turns off stroke stroke(0); // turns stroke back on and is black (use color as listed above) strokeWeight(5); // sets thickness of stroke (any value goes here) smooth(); // turns on anti-aliasing for smoothening vectors rectMode(CENTER); // sets x and y of rect to center of rect (alt: ellipseMode, imageMode) noLoop(); // stops draw{} function from default 30fps looping loop(); // resumes looping

// BASIC FORMS

point(x, y); // places single point on canvas based on x and y values line(x1, y1, x2, y2); // draws line from starting x2, y2 - to ending x2, y2 rect(x, y, width, height); // draws rectangle at given postition and size ellipse(x, y, w, h); // draws ellipse at given postition and size quad(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4); // draws quad triangle(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3); // draws triangle

// VARIABLE TYPES

int foo = 1; // integer or whole number (1, 2, 3, 4, ...) float foo = 3.14; // float is decimal number (3.14159265) String foo = "blah"; // will be a "string which is written in quotes" boolean foo = false; // true or false

// INTERACTION

mouseX // grabs the X mouse coordinates, int variable mouseY // grabs the Y mouse coordinates, int variable if(mousePressed){ } // used in the draw{ } function to know if mouse was pressed if(keyPressed){ } // used in the draw{ } function to know if any key was pressed if (key == 'a'){ } // is true if the letter a is pressed if (keyCode == 32){ } // alternative for key, in this case is SP println(keyCode); // use this to learn the keyCode for any key on the keyboard

// INTERACTION FUNCTIONS

void mousePressed(){ } // will only trigger once when mouse is pressed void mouseReleased(){ } // will only trigger once when mouse is released void keyPressed(){ } // will only trigger once when key is pressed void keyReleased(){ } // will only trigger once when key is released Of course not everything is here... but it would be of little help if it were.
