Ruby-Processing
Are you on a Mac? Ten minutes from now you will be running your first Ruby-Processing animation, mesmerized by a color shifting 3D cube spinning in space. Interested? Then keep on reading this crash course in Ruby-Processing. If you’re really impatient scroll down to “Install Ruby-Processing.”
What is Ruby?
Ruby is a fairly young programming language, conceived in 1993 and first publicly released in 1995. It was created by Japanese programmer Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto. And if you’re running OS X you already have Ruby installed. Yup, it’s already there waiting for you. For more historical info see “Ruby (Programming Language)” on Wikipedia.
