check out the new programming playground website www.sketchpatch.net

sketchPatch is an online programming playground based on Processing,
somewhere to experiment with code,
reuse and collaborate on existing code,
share and learn.

sketchPatch is a net-based collaborative programming project  
developed by artist Sophie McDonald and computer programmer Davide  
Della Casa. The site enables people to create ‘sketches’ (programmes)  
with simple processing scripts to create visual, animated and  
interactive online drawings that can be easily shared and modified,  
creating a collection of networked artworks. sketchPatch makes  
Processing code accessible to a broad audience, through a shared  
learning environment. New coders are encouraged to hack experienced  
coders work, resampling and modifying the code to create new works.  
The site allows users to create a new Processing sketch, write and  
preview the code and save it to a gallery. They can also open an  
existing Sketch from the gallery and adjust its code, preview and  
save it as a new piece of work.

Every month or so we invite a sketcher/artist/coder to create a piece  
of work to be featured on sketchPatch. We also invite them to choose  
a piece of work from sketchPatch to copy and version.

This months featured sketcher is: Alex May, aka PsychicTeeth  check  
out his page here http://www.sketchpatch.net/FA_Alex_May.html

Davide is gonna introduce sketchPatch at Dorkbot this Thursday 4th  
June, so find out more then.

We will also be showing it in the Open Source Embroidery exhibition  
(http://www.open-source-embroidery.org.uk/osexhibition.htm) and at  
Eclectic Tech Carnival conference (/ETC) (http:// 
www.eclectictechcarnival.org) next week in Sweden. So if you get your  
sketches online they will be in the exhibition too!!!!! :o)

Some sketches do behave differently on the site than in Processing,  
but it will be part of the development of the site to iron those out.  
Its pretty good tho!

For more info, or if your interested in getting involved as a  
developer or featured sketcher/artist/coder contact us at info at  
sketchpatch dot net.
