Class Notes for March

Class Notes for April

Class Notes for May

Today was our first day of class. We learned about the Processing environment, the coordinate system, basic shapes, various styling options, and color. This was most of chapter 3. We will finish chapter 3 on Wednesday and move on to chapter 4. On Wednesday, we will also see how to upload our assignments. For Wednesday, have a design, made with the techniques we discussed today, ready to go for uploading.

Today we mostly attended to administrative details. We first made sure that everyone was able to access their Moodle accounts. After this, I discussed the procedure for uploading our projects, which entails the creation of three distinct files: a text file, a pjs file, and a jpg. When everyone was clear with the procedure, we went ahead and uploaded our first assignment. They are now posted, and we will return to the material on Friday. We will be covering variables and for loops.

We returned to the material today, discussing variables and for loops. Your second assignment is to write a program in which you use a for loop, and it is due Tuesday morning at 9. On Monday we will discuss nested for loops and some of the examples from the text. If there is time, we will begin chapter 5.

The main topic for today was nested for loops. Your third assignment, due Saturday at 9 AM, is to write a program using at least one nested for loop.

Today we discussed interaction: using mouseX and mouseY, easing, mousePressed, and mouseButton. We also saw our first if statements and the map function. We will do more with interaction on Friday.

More with interaction today, including rollovers. We will finish chapter 5 on Monday.

Today we finished chapter 5 by exploring the special key, keyPressed, and keyCode variables. We will begin chapter 6 on Wednesday. Don't forget that assignment 4 is due Friday by noon.

We covered chapter 6 today, which is on images and fonts. It's a short chapter, so we actually finished it and moved on to chapter 7, which is on motion. (I did not cover shapes in chapter 6.) We will be moving slowly through chapter 7, with more on Friday. Don't forget that assignment 4 is due Friday by noon.
