Running Processing JS Sketches as Windows 8 Store Apps

As part of my creative fellowship with ITP and Mindspark, I get to play around with Windows 8 and Windows RT app development. Since I belong to the Dan Shiffman school of coding, I mostly make things with Processing. And when I discovered that Windows 8 apps can be built with JavaScript, I got majorly excited because I realized all my processing sketches can run as Windows 8 Apps.

Also, ever since the Microsoft’s Windows RT Surface was released, one of my main questions was how do I run apps that I make on the thing since the device can’t run executables. Luckily, Microsoft provides a pretty good tutorial on how to set up remote debugging on your device. Which means that all my Processing sketches can now run on any Windows 8 or Windows RT slate. I published the files on github. You can access them here: https://github.com/theantonius/PJSWin8
