I hope more people support this project. Not only because lowering the barriers for Processing programming is an exciting thing to do but also because this could be repurposed for other languages (the code will be released under GPL). Full disclosure: I'm an advisor on the project.
This reminds me of something created for the demo scene a while back: <a href="http://www.theprodukkt.com/theprodukkt" rel="nofollow">http://www.theprodukkt.com/theprodukkt</a><p>theprodukkt was a tool that the artist used to procedurally generate the 2D art for a 3D scene. A list of instructions compresses much smaller than a picture does, so they were able to create amazing demos in a really small size.<p>Unfortunately, theprodukkt just kind of fizzled after that. I expected to see that idea really take off.
This project is a great way to introduce designers and artists to programming. Processing is great but requires a lot of overhead to get started. DesignBlocks simplifies the commands and makes coding more intuitive, especially for visual projects.
