Assignment: Week #4 (9/20)

Read and Do:

Read and do the exercises in the following chapters. Code along in Processing-- do not just read the book!

In "Learning Processing" by Daniel Shiffman (Second Edition, 2015):

• Chapter 5: Conditionals (Pages 67-91)
• Chapter 6: Loops (Pages 93-113)

Short Study #3: Uncertain Patterns

Create a responsive drawing machine in Processing involving user input, conditionals, and randomness. The concept/theme is up to you. You may use the previous assignments as a starting point, or begin a completely new sketch.

The drawing must include the following:

• At least one conditional statement using if, else if, and else
• At least one for loop that creates a pattern of some kind
• Use of the random function
• At least one rollover response (hint: see pages 75-83 in Learning Processing)
• Use of at least two of these event functions: keyPressed(), mousePressed(), mouseMoved(), mouseDragged() *
• Attention to visual detail
• Include as a comment at the top of your sketch: your name, title, any instructions for the user

*Read about mouseMoved() and mouseDragged() in Processing Reference

Due by the beginning of our next class.
