United States presidential election map

The next example shows a map of the results of the 2008 USA presidential election. Blue denotes states wonby Barack Obama, and red denotes those won by John McCain. (Note: this map does not show the Nebraskadistrict in which Obama won an elector.)

PShape state;
String [] Obama  = { "HI", "RI", "CT", "MA", "ME", "NH", "VT", "NY", "NJ",

String [] McCain = { "AK", "GA", "AL", "TN", "WV", "KY", "SC", "WY", "MT","ID", "TX", "AZ", "UT", "ND", "SD", "NE", "MS", "MO", "AR", "OK","KS", "LA" };

Spde

Spde (standing for Scala Processing Development Environment) replaces Processing's reduced Java syntaxand custom preprocessor with the off-the-shelf Scala programming language which also runs on the Javaplatform and enforces some of the same restrictions such as disallowing static methods, while also allowing

more concise code, and supporting functional programming.[4][5][6]Quil

Quil (formerly named clj-processing) is a wrapper for Processing in the Clojure language, a Lisp that runs onthe Java platform.[7]

Awards

In 2005 Reas and Fry won the prestigious Golden Nica award from Ars Electronica in its Net Vision categoryfor their work on Processing.

Ben Fry won the 2011 National Design Award given by the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National DesignMuseum in the category of Interaction Design. The award statement says:

"Drawing on a background in graphic design and computer science, Ben Fry pursues a long-held fascinationwith visualizing data. As Principal of Fathom Information Design in Boston, Fry develops software, printedworks, installations, and books that depict and explain topics from the human genome to baseball salaries tothe evolution of text documents. With Casey Reas, he founded the Processing Project, an open-sourceprogramming environment for teaching computational design and sketching interactive-media software. Itprovides artists and designers with accessible means of working with code while encouraging engineers andcomputer scientists to think about design concepts."

Name

Originally, Processing had the URL at proce55ing.net, because the processing domain was taken. EventuallyReas and Fry acquired the domain. Although the name had a combination of letters and numbers, it was stillpronounced processing. They do not prefer the environment being referred to as Proce55ing. Despite thedomain name change, Processing still uses the term p5 sometimes as a shortened name (p5 specifically isused not p55).
