Lab 6

StrobeBlock code from class...

Here are some links to read regarding OO programming:

• OO tutorial in Processing. READ ME!!!!!
• What is an Object?
• What is a Class?
• Processing example - arrays and objects

Here are the links we went through in class. Explore them + start brainstorming for the HW assignment:

TYPOGRAPHY EXPERIMENTS

• Phonemation (Snibbe, Lewis, Levin)
• Letterscapes (Peter Cho)
• Typemenot (Peter Cho)

REACTIVE SURFACES / DRAWING TOOLS

• Gravilux (Scott Snibbe)
• Motionphone (Scott Snibbe)
• Fug Paint (Ben Fry)
• Dakadaka (Golan Levin)
• Yellowtail (Golan Levin)
• Gesture Machines (Zach Lieberman)
• Messing w/people's heads

LIFEFORMS

• The Game of Life (John Conway)
• Cellblock (Peter Cho)
• Steering Behaviors For Autonomous Characters (Craig Reynolds )
• Dendron (Golan Levin)
• Soda Constructor
• Singlecell
• Doublecell

DATA VISUALIZATION

• Anemone (Ben Fry)
• Market Map + (Martin Wattenberg)
• The Secret Lives of Numbers (Golan Levin)

CARDS

• New Year 1
• New Year 2
• Holidays
• New Year
• Mother's Day (Flash, I know, but you could do it easily in Java / Processing.)

Homework 6

(Please email me if you have any questions or problems)

• Finish HW 4 and 5. I will grade them next week.
• OO tutorial in Processing. READ ME!!!!!
• This is a two week assignment that will be due Nov 1st. Create 3 Halloween e-cards. Think: spooky, scary, bizarre. Each card must be significantly different from the others. Be simple + creative.
  
  
  • You must use objects and classes in at least one of your cards.
  • Use text in at least one of your cards. Here is a link to how to use fonts in Processing.
  • At least two of them must be dynamic (they need to move).
• For next week, write up three very short descriptions of what your cards will be - to hand in. Look over the links in class for inspiration. Choose two ideas you think you can implement and one you aren't 100% sure how. I will talk to each of you individually next class about your ideas. You might want to start coding a bit as well.



• There will be a crit of the cards Nov 1. This will count as 2 HW assignments.
