Flash 8 vs. Processing
Since two months now I am a happy Processing user. But at the Spark Europe 2005 event in Amsterdam I found out that Flash 8 has become a really good alternative…
So there is a chance that this will be my last Processing app… snif…
It uses a nice trick to leave an alpha trail. It doesn’t clear the screen with background(0) but it draws a rectangle with an alpha of 20. So it takes 5 frames to clear the screen.
fill(0,0,0,20); // 20 is alpha
rect(0,0,width,height);
