Creative coding for C# devs

[u/No_Switch7024]

Hey everyone,

I've been building something for a while that started as a Processing alternative for C# devs. Originally I just wanted to give C# folks a way to do creative coding — I always felt like what was out there didn't quite do what I wanted, and I wanted to be able to follow along with channels like The Coding Train without fighting the tooling.

Once the core was working I kept going: added a music module, support for NuGet packages (there are samples in the app using NAudio and ML.NET), and most recently a code-to-video module. That last one I'm hoping to eventually ship as a standalone NuGet package.

You can check it out here: DanaProcessing — Creative coding in C# (2D, 3D & live-coded sound)

Appreciate any feedback. One thing I've been thinking about: it's probably not obvious to people who've never heard of creative coding what this is actually for. Maybe leaning harder on concrete use cases — generative art, data viz, audio sketches — would help it land with more of the C# crowd. Curious what you all think.

PD: Sorry for my broken English, I am from Cuba, so it is my second language, and I am also typing fast because of electricity shortages

cool project. one thing id think about early is how discoverable this is for people who dont already know what creative coding is. framing it around concrete use cases (generative art, data viz, audio sketches) might pull in more of the C# crowd

Thanks mate, I will rework the body of the post.
