Missing input images for PShader tutorial 10.2
I was studing the PShader tutorial, in particular the textured point sprite example 10.2 (Sketch that renders sprites using a custom point shader). It refers to three input images (cloud1.png, cloud2.png and cloud3.png). However these input images are not downloadable from the website. And (unfortunately) it seems these PShader examples are also not part of the Processing download. The solution for this issue would be to make the three images available / downloadable from the website.
In a broader sense, it may be a good idea to add examples from tutorials to the Processing download. Perhaps the developments with regard to the Example Manager may facilitate this.
On a sidenote, in the example's Processing code I think it would be better to change mousePressed to keyPressed. That way a key press would change the chosen sprite immediately, instead of on the next mouse press (as is currently the case).
I love the idea of adding all tutorial programs to the Examples in the download. It's strange that some have a download now and others do not. It's more to manage, but I think it's worth it. We should see how large they are before making the decision to include by default of to make them on of Example Manager packages. I'll make a new Issue to discuss this and will leaves this open to record the issue with the PShader tutorial.
