Generative visuals based on (a lot) of agents/objects moving..

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to figure out some ways to design visuals based on agents moving on the screen.

I don't really like to quote specific works for illustration purpose at this step of my current project, but it could help to understand better my question, I guess.

Pure touchdesigner stuff there.

But what I'd like to do with Max is what I used to do with Processing since years: using class-based text programming with Max.
For many reasons, moving objects in arrays can be sometimes easier (for me) than looping stuff using pure Max (and jitter) objects.

what would you advice to explore?

Mgraphics inside js ?
sketch inside js ?
JAVA based stuff ?

Any ideas and experiences would be appreciate

Best,
