To a beginning Processing user, the libraries section of the Processing site can cause a "kid in the candy store" effect. Peter Kirn actually recommend going a little easy, working with one library at a time. But, at the same time, working with libraries really is essential to working with Processing, because Processing "core" is kept as conservative as possible.

Processing OpenCV Tutorial #2- bubbles

In this tutorial, Andy Best shows how to use a thresholded frame difference (motion) image in order to perform collision detection with objects onscreen. Essentially it allows to create something similar to one of the old webcam games where you can ‘pop bubbles’ with your hands (or indeed anything that moves).

Lesson: Object-Oriented Programming Concepts

Lesson: Object-Oriented Programming Concepts

If you've never used an object-oriented programming language before, you'll need to learn a few basic concepts before you can begin writing any code. This lesson will introduce you to objects, classes, inheritance, interfaces, and packages. Each discussion focuses on how these concepts relate to the real world, while simultaneously providing an introduction to the syntax of the Java programming language.
