- Color
Do:
- Make a "sandbox" exploring coordinates, shapes and color in Processing. Name your file and folder Hw1_lastname_firstname then zip up so that the zip file is: Hw1_lastname_firstname.zip. Email this to professor: mhaughwout at cca dot edu.
- Bring in a debug log -- this can be either a notebook or a digital file. Your debug log should be organized with at least 4 columns: 1) the error or problem you have, 2) your hypothesis about what is wrong 3) your attempted fix, and 4) your results. You don't need to have any entries yet, but I will be checkingto see that you have made it.
Optional:
- take a look at Daniel Shiffman's intro videos
In class:
Discuss:
- more on shapes, coordinates, setup, draw, color, variables and data types
- intro to conditionals, relational expressions, logical operators
Studio time:
- make a monster out of shapes
- shapes with variables
- making it move
- conditional statements
- Week 2 Code Examples (can also be found on references page)
