Overview
Flutter Processing is a Flutter package that brings the creative coding capabilities of Processing to Flutter applications. It enables developers to create interactive graphics, animations, and visual art using a familiar Processing-like syntax within Flutter's cross-platform framework. Ideal for artists, educators, and developers interested in generative art, it supports real-time drawing and animation on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. The package integrates seamlessly with Flutter’s widget system while providing access to low-level canvas operations.
