In terms of learning process, the most important part I took away from the recitation is to be patient. In recitation exercise, I was unsatisfied with my original work, thinking that it’s too simple and ugly. However, I realized that a successful project has to be done little by little. As for the assignment, it took me a whole week to figure the code out, but I am so glad that I didn’t ask anyone else for help！And I realized that one has to be really good at math for coding.
Interesting functions include:
colorMode(HSB)—can create rainbow-like image, so pretty
mouseClick, pmouseX/pmouseY—I just love interactions
Homework
int r=20;
int t=0;
int n=0;
int min=0;
int c=0;
void setup(){
size(600,600);}
void draw(){
t=t+1;
if ((t>=(300*(n)+min)) & (t<(300*(n+1)+min))){ //0<=t<300
r=r+1;
}
colorMode(HSB);
background(255);
stroke(t,t+1,255);
strokeWeight(30);
ellipse(width/2, height/2,r,r);
if((t>=(300*(n+1)+min)) & (t<=(300*(n+2)+min))){//300<=t<600
r=r-1;
}
frameRate(800);
println ("time",t,"r",r,"n",n);
if(t%600==0){
n=0;
t=0;
}
}
Recitation Exercise
void setup() {
size(600, 600);
background(255,255,255);
}
void draw(){
float c;
float x=pmouseX;
float y=pmouseY;
ellipse(x,y,30,30);
noStroke();
c = 244;
fill(c,c, random(255),100);
if(mousePressed){
background(random(255));
}
}
