Week 07 Homework - rybotron/wnm498genart_f14 GitHub Wiki
Changing of the Seasons
The leaves are changing colors on the trees, farmers are harvesting their crops, and itโs almost daylight savings time. So, for this two part assignment you and a partner will be creating an interactive piece around the changing of the seasons. It does not need to be only focused on fall, it can include all 4 seasons or focus on your favorite. This week you will be creating a github repo for your project, brainstorming, researching, and beginning writing code.
1. Create your story. What story are you trying to tell?
Example:
- In the fall leaves fall from the trees letting the sunlight through
- In Tahoe the snow piles up deeply to create perfect skiing conditions
- In the spring flowers bloom after a long winter.
2. Map out how the story is told interactively.
Example:
- Use mobile finger touches to change the acceleration of the wind
- 1 finger will be the lightest - 4 fingers being gale force winds
- The tree will be drawn using shapes in p5.js, or two.js
- Leaves will be a particle system with location, velocity, and acceleration
- Continuing mapping out each function, method, property of your code
3. Assign tasks to each other of who will be building what.
4. Code it!
- Drive the project using p5.js
- Use additional libraries that fit your story
- p5.sound.js
- dat.GUI
- tween.js
- two.js
- other libraries you would like to try!
5. Upload it to github:
- Create a repo for your project that both you and your partner commit to and work from
- Create a github IO branch to host the file
