Description
Most relevant area for this enhancement?
Core/Environment/Rendering
Feature to enhance
The built-in sketches shown in the Processing Welcome screen (e.g. Mouse2D, Flocking, Arctangent).
Desired enhancement
Enhance the example sketches launched from the Processing Welcome screen (such as Mouse2D, Flocking, and Arctangent) so that they scale properly when the user resizes or fullscreen maximizes the IDE window. Currently, these sketches are hardcoded with fixed dimensions and positions, and cannot be extended to fullscreen unlike the welcome sketch RotatingArcs.
Potential benefits
Sketches from the Welcome screen adapt to all screen sizes (especially useful on large displays).
Improves learning experience for new users
Possible drawbacks
Not clear how to persist .pde patches without touching build/resources bundled, which is ignored by Git and overwritten on build.
Might require modifying Welcome.java to point to a new examples folder or setting a user preference to toggle enhanced examples.
Additional context
I've already implemented and tested working versions of these fullscreen-compatible .pde files and stored them in a local folder.
They work perfectly, but am seeking guidance on how to register these sketches with the Welcome screen and ensure they survive project rebuilds.
Would you like to work on the issue?
Yes but need help.
