23 days left until Inspire08
Setting up the code framework and additional tools.

Well, from yesterday's list... I mainly managed to setup the framework to use OpenGL (so size(800,500,OPENGL) works from Eclipse), and was able to draw 100,000 polys, it was a bit slow but the polys were massive, so I guess it's as it's supposed to be.

Then I faced the problem of not being able to actually generate a .jar that worked, then tried to setup it so Processing IDE for compiling and Eclipse for writing code, but again, no easy solution with comfortable work flow. Also tried with this EclipseP5Exporter but no luck (thx to sole for finding it tho). Seems to don't work to well on Linux yet.

I'll try today with Ant as some people seem to have had good results with it.

On the other hand, I still don't know any Open source alternative for Reason yet, so maybe the music will fail on that purpose.

UPDATE: Sole just suggested Paniq's Aldrin as a good Reason alternative. Another thing to test this weekend.
