(require moby/stub/world)

(define WIDTH 320)
(define HEIGHT 480)

(define (render w)
  (place-image 
   (text "Hello World" 10 "Black")
   20
   20
   (empty-scene WIDTH HEIGHT)))

(big-bang WIDTH HEIGHT 10 0)

After a few minutes of poking around, I was able to compile this to Java and then run it on the Android Emulator:

I'm working on a project that uses data in JSON format  (www.json.org).  It took me a while to get it going in processing, so I thought I'd post what I did here.  If there's a better way (which undoubtedly there is!), please let me know.

Here are the steps I took (on Windows):

1.  Download http://www.json.org/java/json.zip from json.org.  Save it in a some directory, which I'll call %DOWNLOAD_HOME%.

2.  Unzip it.  Be sure you preserve the archive's directory structure (/org/json/) when you unzip the file.  

3.  Change directory into %DOWNLOAD_HOME%orgjson

That leaves my third, second, and top-most choices still to go. So here they are:

"The creators of Lotus Notes found a different approach. They built a document-based database system. Each record was a document that had certain characteristics that let it work with the system. Then you could add any amount of fields of any length. And some of the fields could contain multiple pieces of data. This system allows us to add information at any time. If these are customers, our sales force can discuss sailing with Bob and the joys of a large family with Jonathan. And no storage space is wasted." The real advantage of the new system was not saving space. It was because the programmer who could reduce the world to columns was no longer needed. The new developer was someone who could build an interface to allow the information to be entered easily. The people who programmed Lotus Notes had just left jobs as managers and secretaries. They learned how to build applications related to the real world. If it was decided to add a piece of information, they could add it without worrying about messing with the "record size". "

"Eventually, these mono-language programmers end up completely incapable of addressing a problem unless they can see how to implement it in their One True Language™. Too many programmers I’ve encountered over the decades know only a single programming language, with many of them even lacking in that one language. They therefore tend to settle into areas that let them use that language no matter what, all day, every day, even if it means writing hundreds of lines of code that could easily be replaced by just a few lines of a language better suited to the problem."
