…ation - Migrate to Processing 4 with fullScreen(P3D) and settings() - Add audio input device enumeration and selector dropdown - Add config persistence (JSON) for audio device and settings - Fix deprecated APIs (stop() -> dispose(), displayWidth -> width) - Add macOS code signing and notarization script (build-macos.sh) - Add cross-platform build script with auto-install (build.sh) - Add env.example for build credentials - Update README with complete documentation
- Use official Processing contribution manager URLs for Minim and ControlP5 - Add proper error handling and fallback messages - Add env.example for build credentials template - Make install process idempotent (skip already installed)
- Auto-creates release on tag push (v*) - Generates release notes from commits - Creates source zip archive - Optional macOS build job (disabled by default)
Processing 4 lacks reliable CLI export. Source zip is sufficient.
- release.sh: Full release automation (build, sign, tag, upload) - .githooks/pre-push: Builds app when pushing version tags - Uses gh CLI for GitHub release uploads
- Automated export via processing-java --export - No more manual Processing IDE export needed - Uses --no-java flag (CLI embed bug workaround) - Requires: processing-java CLI, Java 17+, gh CLI
- Copies sketch.icns to app bundle Resources - Updates Info.plist to reference icon
- 4 visualization examples (vortex, droplet, terrain, particles) - Interface screenshot in controls section
- Submit to Apple notary service after signing - Staple notarization ticket to app - Requires APPLE_ID, TEAM_ID, APP_PASSWORD in .env
- Separate 'macOS App' (just download) vs 'From Source' instructions - Update GitHub Actions to skip if release already exists (created by local script) - Add emoji for better visual hierarchy
- Dark-themed Astro site with mouse-follow particle effects - Hero section with fav.png background and parallax - Features section for 3 visualizers + effects - Screenshot gallery with lightbox - System audio setup guide - Download CTA linking to releases - Built to docs/ folder for GitHub Pages
- Smooth cursor trail with blur/fade instead of particles - Hero image visible with parallax and slow zoom animation - Floating orb background effects - Button hover jiggle and shimmer animations - Glowing text animations - Card hover effects with scale - Scanline overlay for retro feel
- Configure Astro to output external JS files instead of inline - Fixes GitHub Pages CSP blocking inline script execution
- Adds Content-Security-Policy meta tag with unsafe-eval - Allows external scripts, inline scripts, and eval - Fixes GitHub Pages CSP blocking

I had to make this Minim.MONO for it to work on my M1 2020 macbook pro running Sequoia 15.0.1

Hey @codygibb! 👋
I've been a fan of Animus for years and recently took on modernizing it for 2025. Since the original hasn't been updated in 11 years, I wanted to share these changes back and see if you'd like to merge them—or if you'd prefer, I'm happy to maintain a fork going forward.

If you're still interested in maintaining Animus, I'd love to collaborate! If not, I'm happy to continue maintaining my fork at james-see/animus-visualizer as a hard fork with full attribution to your original work.
Either way, thanks for creating Animus—it's been a blast modernizing it! 🙏
