Course review

At beginning, I think it is a little difficult because it is like C language which we learn before but it just the same with concept the format is difficult. Therefore, I have to review processing handbook and my note before start the class. Now, I can write simple program without those note. In this class I learn how to produce simple electronic drawing board, change the size of picture, how to write text in our project, how to use random, and how to use “mousePressd” and “mouseBottom”. And I think “mousePressed” and “mouseBottom” is really useful.

My favorite homework is to produce a small game. Although it is really difficult for us, I think I learn more from it. We really spend so much time to study the processing handbook because we have to find which function we need to use for our project. But at first part we still cannot achieve our goal which is if our mouse pressed at picture and the score will increase. Therefore, we decided to ask teacher how to do and thanks for teacher’s help, I know how to do now and done the work of the first part. The second part is to link to arduino, but during those weeks practice, I already know how to use it to link with our process. So the second part is not so difficult to achieve. We feel happy and satisfied when we done this project. Therefore this is my favorite homework.

My common of this class is that I think sometimes teacher will teach too quickly so that I cannot really understand. If teacher can teach a little slow and it will become perfect.

Homework 12

Processing Project Design --- Silvia & Vicky

HW-07

07-1

In this case I learn that translate() is use to change the center. And use rotate() to let rectangle rotate. PI is equal to math symbol "π". Therefore, If I want to let rectangle change degree, I have to use rotate() to let rectangle change place. If I want to let those three rectantle rotate all the time, I have to write the original code in the draw() function because the code have to run every time. And I have to use "easing" to let the value of this variable changes how quickly the circle will reach the target.

HW06

In this case I learn how to use code to do some change. And we also have to use some part we did before. Such as write word in a space and use “mousePressed” to control which effect we want. And the most important thing which I learn is that I have to establish an area which my picture will show and every effect can run at it, or my text will be covered by picture than the word will disappear.

HW05

I like this teaching style which is step by step, it can let me know how to do and understand the meaning of those code. In this case, I learn that it’s like C++, if we want establish a variable, we have to announce it at beginning. And we have to use “If-else” to limit some condition, or it will get error.

HW 04

04-1

http://icac.no-ip.org/vicky/04-1-01/

In this case, If I want to write word in some area that I have to declare the variable at begging, therefore, I write “PFont fone” at begging. Second, I write “font = loadFont("Ziggurat-HTF-Black-32.vlw")” in setup() to load the font. The VLW format is a quick way to render text and makes it possible to include a font with a sketch. Third, I write “textFont(font)” to set the current text font. Fourth, I use ”text("Size(5)", 10, 50)” to write "Size(5)" at coordinate (10,50). The most interesting is that if we put “save("draw.jpg")” in draw() function that if we click it than it will save our data in the file. I think that part is amazing for me.


4-2

I think this part is interest because we can link two different pictures to become one picture. But we have to put all pictures in a same file with our main program or it cannot compile correctly.

HW_03

HW03-1:

HW03-2:

http://icac.no-ip.org/vicky/HW_03-2/

I think this homework is really practical for us. In the first case I know how to use mouseX and mouseY. If I want the X-coordinate and Y-coordinate change with mouse, not just an immovable coordinate, I can use mouseX and mouseY to reach this instruct.

In the second case, we have to use if-else. And use “mousePressed” to tell computer if we click mouse on the board then instruct will execute. And if we want to draw different color and the different size of line, we have to draw some rectangle and decide any color and size we want. Then we have to limit which range will show the color and size of line. If those instruct are all correct, then it will show the result which we want.

HW2

02-1(a)

02-1(b)

02-2

02-3

When I saw this homework at first time, I think that is a difficult work because we have to create 100 different color and size of rectangles. When I know how to use some code that I think it is easy to solve. In Homwork2, we practice how to use loop and nested for loops. The concept is almost the like C language so that I can easily to understand and write program. During this class, I learn how to use setup(), draw(), loop() and random() functions, and that are very useful for us.

HW1

This class and software are new for us. I think this software is miraculous because we can draw pictures which just use some code. We have to know the meaning of those codes than decide which one we should use such as what color of background, what shape…etc. We can draw anything we want. If we want to draw a simulate one from other picture that the coordinates is important. I still feel inexperienced now but I think I will become more proficient at future.
