This is a relatively simple library designed to emulate most of the features of [Greenfoot](https://www.greenfoot.org/)

in [Processing](https://processing.org/).

This was originally made for a school project and aims to enable easy 2D game creation within Processing.

If you're using this in a class or as a teaching tool, I'd love to hear about it!

## Installation

1. `Sketch > Import Library... > Add Library...`

2. Search for `Green`

3. Select the library and click `Install`

2. Download the `.zip` file

3. Unzip it to wherever you want to keep the library

4. Open `Green-.zip/library/` and put `Green.jar` in your Processing libraries folder

5. Processing's `libraries` folder is located in `/libraries`

   - Its sketchbook location can be found in the editor under `File > Preferences...`

Once installed:

1. Add it to a project with `Sketch > Import Library...`

## Reference

## The Basic Idea

The library works with two concepts: worlds and actors.

The `World` class is where all the interaction and gameplay takes place - it's where all the `Actors` live, and for most

games one `World` is enough.

The `Actor` class is where all the per-item code goes: you might have a player `Actor`, one for an item the player can

pick up, and maybe a few for obstacles.
