if you check out Processing.org, that will explain everything you need to get going. You probably didn't realize that processing is an application to write and compile code, written in the Processing language. Once you have the application downloaded, opening the application automatically starts a new window which is called a Sketch. Sounds like you can handle the tougher parts

Any idea how to implement the new twitter streaming api ? It use json – and I would guess it wouldn't work like this script right ?

I must admit I am one of the few people that do not have a face book account. I have a twitter account, but have only really started to understand how powerful it can be by reading articles like this – cheers

Dear Jer, when i run the sketch i get static page with number of tweets, how would you implement self-updating tweets?

i used ur code. Thank you!

Twitter myTwitter;

PFont fontA;

void setup() {

size(800,600);

background(0);

smooth();

fontA = loadFont(“Baskerville-48.vlw”);

textFont(fontA, 20);

textAlign(LEFT, CENTER);

noLoop();

noStroke();

};

void draw() {

myTwitter = new Twitter(“yourTwitterUserName”, “yourTwitterPassword”);

try {

Query query = new Query(“jer”);

query.setRpp(40);

QueryResult result = myTwitter.search(query);

ArrayList tweets = (ArrayList) result.getTweets();

for (int i = 0; i < tweets.size(); i++) {

Tweet t = (Tweet) tweets.get(i);

String user = t.getFromUser();

String msg = t.getText();

Date d = t.getCreatedAt();

println("Tweet by " + user + " at " + d + ": " + msg);

// println(msg);

fill((127), (0), (0));

colorMode(RGB,100,500,10, 255);

text(msg, random(500), random(500),width/2, height/2);

textAlign(CENTER);//posX = 100;

//posY = 10;

//text(msg,100*2 ,10+50 );

};

}

catch (TwitterException te) {

println("Couldn't connect: " + te);

};

Hi @davypaperboy. I am facing the same problem. Have you found a solution?

My Twitter-Java application is on 1.4.2_05, and the Exception thrown is as below:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/net/Proxy
at twitter4j.http.HttpClient.getConnection(HttpClient.java:409)

I have tried putting in the code and installing twitter4j into processing. I'm getting no error messages, but always get a Couldn't connect: twitter4j.TwitterException: connect timed out
Is this message an internet connection problem with processing (login on browser works fine) or a problem with connecting to twitter?

Can someone help please?
