Stick Figure

Welcome to stick figure animation for the Processing programming language! Let's start with a simple example:

Hello, World!

  StickFigure stickFigure;

  void setup() {
    size(300, 300);
    stickFigure = new StickFigure(50); // Create a size 50 stick figure
    strokeWeight(18);
    stroke(0);
    fill(0);

    stickFigure.pv.y = 185; // Place the stick figure so it's slightly more central
  }

  void draw() {
    background(128);
    stickFigure.rightHand().heading = (0.25 * sin(frameCount/10.0)) + 2; // Wave!
    stickFigure.draw();
  }
