Discussion > Parts of Processing that don't work yet in sketchPatch v1

SketchPatch implements most of Processing reasonably well, but some parts of the language are not supported yet. Here is a summary of the parts that don't work yet, or work differently:

- Text and fonts
- Loading / showing images files
- 3d (neither P3D nor opengl)
- Can't instantiate objects outside of a function, i.e. where global variables are usually initiated. Moving the instantiation within the setup method works just fine.
- Filling of curves/polygons/shapes can be different from Processing: (sketchPatch's fill rule is even-odd, while processing is nonzero).
- Conversions between int and float types (both automatic or explicit casting) can lead to different results.

There doesn't seem to be any feedback as to what has gone wrong.

A "blank stare" doesn't tel me much. Are there any sort of compile errors or something that can be displayed?

Hi Subpixel,

Indeed, we are working on it right now, and it's looking pretty good. It should be in place in a couple of weeks.

Hello,

just to announce that sketchPatch now reports most types of errors - no more blank stares!

Hi,

Are string handling functions available? String.charAt seems missing.

Also is the source of the flash component available/compilable with a free compiler like mtasc/HaXe?

cheers

And another thing... Is there something like a hashmap available?
