Make detailed pixel art and scale it to epic proportions
Write a maze game and build a MaKey MaKey controller with fruit buttons
Play, record, and sample audio to create your own soundboard
Fetch weather data from the Web and build a custom weather dashboard
Create visualizations that change based on sound, light, and temperature readings

With a little imagination and Processing as your paintbrush, you ll be on your way to coding your own gallery of digital art in no time! Put on your artist s hat, and begin your DIY journey by learning some basic programming and making your first masterpiece with The SparkFun Guide to Processing.
