Having not attended class, (and unclear lecture notes from the slides) I did my best to interpret the code as well as used some resources off Daniel Shiffman’s website and textbook to understand how particle systems worked for myself. I didn’t employ any use of springs or polymorphism, but I understand the concepts I think fairly intuitively from looking at the code. Particle systems seem like an important foundation for moving forward onto future topics, so I wanted to ensure that I understood their behavior and the code that drives them. For this sketch I just wanted to continue emphasizing interaction and wanted to create something similar to the example sketches in my own way, and ended up with a sort of “circles coming at you” effect. I’m not sure if I went about this in the right way, or if I even correctly used particle systems at all, but I think having not attended class this week’s sketch was a good effort.
