It is possible to use vanilla processing libraries with propane, but we also provide pure ruby libraries eg `boids`. Most libraries can be loaded using the load_library method, the exception being those that can be loaded as gems. It is also possible use the load_library method to load local libraries for your sketches see raining.rb, if you stick with propane library conventions. For more advanced sketches it is often a good idea to create your own libraries.
