    If you are good at coding you might go ahead and do things without testing them and you might not have any issues.  As someone who has been coding for many years, I find that building things with small iterations is best.  You are so much less likely to run into an issue. In the case…

    This page on the Stencyl site doesn’t really go into detail on creating some text to give a player feedback, so I figured I would write about it.  We are creating a way to give the user textual feedback and I’m sure you could expand upon this. First I make a new Actor called HUD.  I…

    Aristotle was one of the first to write about gravity.  Although, there is a great scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey where a bone becomes a space ship, so maybe the pre-humans wondered, “why does that stuff fall?”.  Later Galileo and Newton tested the theories proving certain truths, and Einstein created more theories with mathematical…

    This was originally posted on the processing forum but it seems to have been pretty useful.   This is a very basic class that can be used in processing to make a syphon server.  The syphon library for processing can be picked up from here and installed per these instructions.

    In processing we do not have the ability to make a simple button.  there are libraries that allow us to call to the button class, but there are many cases that do not allow us to use the libraries.  In android mode the libraries take up too much memory, and you cannot install a library…
