Which language uses .pde extension?

Solution 1:

This code is from Processing.org an open source Java based IDE. You can find it Processing.org. The Arduino IDE also uses this extension, although they run on a hardware board.

EDIT - And yes it is C syntax, used mostly for art or live media presentations.

Solution 2:

The .pde file extension is the one used by the Processing, Wiring, and the Arduino IDE.

Processing is not C-based but rather Java-based and with a syntax derived from Java. It is a Java framework that can be used as a Java library. It includes a default IDE that uses .pde extension. Just wanted to rectify @kersny's answer.

Wiring is a microcontroller that uses the same IDE. Arduino uses a modified version, but also with .pde. The OpenProcessing page where you found it is a website to exhibit some Processing work.

If you know Java, it should be fairly easy to convert the Processing code to Java AWT.

Solution 3:

Bad news I'm afraid (or maybe great news?) : it isn't C code, it's an example of "Processing" - an open source language aimed at programming images. Take a look here

Looks very cool.

Solution 4:

pde is extesion for:

• Processing: Java derived language

• Wiring: C/C++ derived language (Wiring is derived from Processing)

• Early versions of Arduino: C/C++ derived (Arduino IDE is derived from Wiring)

For Arduino for example the IDE preprocessor is adding some #defines and some C/C++ files before giving all to gcc.
