This looks really cool, would it be possible to post a video somewhere, showing the code being entered on one side and the graphics on the other ?

Ya know if I get a chance I will... it takes a lot of setup what with the ZeroMQ and such, the target was more to have your code on one machine, and then the display to happen on many other machines, hopefully somewhat synchronized. I think this was for Processing 1.5.1 or earlier, so I'd be curious how it does with the 2.0 stuff, plus it is a real pain to build! I had it running on a machine I don't have going anymore. I tell ya though, if you want to get into Clojure some, the Quil project is really nice for live coding. Thanks for the feedback! Perhaps this code base is more useful for reading (especially the combo jython/java bits) and it would be trivial I think to add the MQ stuff to Quil possibly.

Ooohh it turns out for shoebot [http://gitorious.org/shoebot/shoebot] I want to move to a zeromq based approach so that rendering is in a different process.

Nodebox/Shoebot have quite a lot of nice libraries, I had a little success using them from processing, you might be interested to have a look: http://www.stuartaxon.com/2010/02/10/processing-with-jython-and-nodeboxshoebot-libraries/

I'll definitely try and get round to have a look, but really busy at the moment (hence shoebot is a little dormant).
