Praxis Live is a hybrid live visual programming platform that uses both Java and Processing to code visuals and audio. It is node-based so that users have easy access to important pieces of code, and it also has real-time processing.

To get started with using Praxis Live, I downloaded example projects. I experimented with ‘Funky Origami’, ‘Smoky 3D’, ‘Circles’ and ‘Mouse Drawing’. One good thing about this platform is that you can make changes to the project in real-time once you save. The node-based system also allows you to easily make changes without changing code. Though, you can edit the code for more detailed changes.

Praxis Live would be a very good choice for a live coding performance, due to the easily accessible code through the nodes, which also makes everything much easier for the audience to understand.
