It looks nice, and seems to have a great community. It could learn from graphviz and matplotlib though, and have a gallary of examples complete with code snippets. See <a href="http://www.graphviz.org/Gallery.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.graphviz.org/Gallery.php</a> and <a href="http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/gallery.html" rel="nofollow">http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/gallery.html</a><p>The NodeBox gallery is mostly about other projects that use NobeBox. That is nice if you want to learn about linguistics or fractals, but not so great for just learning NodeBox features.<p>I really love the matplotlib and graphviz galleries. Visualization of the feature, plus working code.<p>Otherwise, it looks very sweet.<p>Edit - I'm browsing through the "Examples" directories in the installation. It's pretty cool.
My pong game in 30 lines of nodebox: <a href="http://billmill.org/pong.html" rel="nofollow">http://billmill.org/pong.html</a> .<p>Nodebox rocks; I used it more seriously to create all the EPS files for my article in python magazine about drawing trees. Here's an example; notice how short and to the point the code is, a credit to nodebox's super simple API: <a href="http://github.com/llimllib/personal_code/blob/master/python/trees/draw_ws1.py" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/llimllib/personal_code/blob/master/python/...</a>
I love NodeBox. I did these a while ago:<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joshu/sets/72157605136550715/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/joshu/sets/72157605136550715/</a>
<i>"... The idea of a state machine, and most of the command set, is adopted from Processing, an open project initiated by Ben Fry and Casey Reas. ..."</i><p>Processing boxed up as an app. I would like to give it a try but I'm ✸nix, ✸bsd and at last resort Win. What I do like about it is it makes doing the same thing with processing, easier. So for that reason alone the product is worth learning from.<p>- <a href="http://processing.org/" rel="nofollow">http://processing.org/</a> & <a href="http://mobile.processing.org/" rel="nofollow">http://mobile.processing.org/</a><p>- <a href="http://processingjs.org" rel="nofollow">http://processingjs.org</a> (javascript)
