The cycle: Mouse clicks, a tree grows. The leaves continue to fall — products of the trees they have fertilized. This processing piece shows the cyclical transformation occurring in nature. Interact.
As promised, here is the sample code, including the class Spot, that we worked up in class today. It will help you figure out how to create your own classes of objects for your pieces.
DUE APRIL 8
Assignment #7 Translate it is due next week AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS. (Sorry for the change, but I realized that we will need the ENTIRE session to review your work.)
Plan to spend at least 8-10 hours in this assignment prior to next Wednesday.
Be prepared to hand me a flash drive with your exported applet and the corresponding folder and files at 3pm SHARP. Also, be prepared to give a title and a couple of sentences to describe the work.
I will be available in the MML from 1-3pm in case you have any last minute bugs. If you would like help during that time, let me know and I will schedule appointments in 15 minute slots until all slots are filled. Be aware that 15 minutes is a very small amount of time, so be sure that your sketches are practically done before you see me.
DUE 3/18
Create a self portrait using the Processing programming language, as we learned in class. Your self portraits can be realistic or abstract and conceptual. Your pieces may be static, dynamic or interactive. You may use color, but please use it sparingly.
Once you have created and tested your programs, export them using the Processing Export feature. Rename the directory using the convention “yourname_portrait”. Then put the entire applet directory and its contents on an external or flash drive. Be prepared to give me your drive at the beginning of our next class.
Good luck!
