Assignments

Assignment 1

• [1]Draw three lines.
• [2]Draw five lines.
• [3]Draw three ellipses.
• [4]Control the position of two lines with one variable.
• [5]Control the position and size of two lines with two variables.
• [6]Control the properties of two shapes with two variables.
• [7]Create a simple, regular pattern with six lines.
• [8]Program your pattern from Assignment 1-07 using while().
• [9]Draw a layered form with two new loops.
• [10]Redo Assignment 1-05 using mouseX and mouseY as the variables.
• [11]Draw two visual elements that each move in relation to the mouse in a different way.
• [12]Draw three visual elements that each move in relation to the mouse in a different way.
• [13]Move a visual element across the screen. When it disappears off the edge, move it back into the frame.
• [14]Draw a visual element that moves in relation to the mouse, but with a different relation when the mouse is pressed.
• [15]Using if and else, make the mouse perform different actions when in different parts of the window.
• [16]Develop a kinetic image which responds to the mouse.

Assignment 2

• A2-01 - Using beginShape() and endShape(), create a composition with five or more vertices.
• A2-02 - Using beginShape() and endShape(), create a composition with ten or more vertices.
• A2-03 - Create an image different from A2-02, but using the same vertex data.
• A2-04 - Write a function with one parameter and demonstrate it visually.
• A2-05 - Write a function for drawing triangles and visually demonstrate its flexibility.
• A2-06 - Write a function with three or more parameters and visually demonstrate its flexibility.
• A2-07 - Create a dynamic animation using the cos() function as a generator for motion.
• A2-08 - Create a dynamic animation using the cos() and sin() function as a generator for motion.
• A2-09 - Move two visual elements across the screen using the random() function as a generator of movement. Give each element a unique nonlinear motion.
• A2-10 - Create an event that begins when the mouse is pressed and ends when the mouse is released.
• A2-11 - Create a responsive image that behaves differently when the mouse is moving and the mouse is dragging.
• A2-12 - Create a button that changes the color of the background when it is clicked.
• A2-13 - Program your moving elements from A2-09 but use classes to represent the two visual elements.

A2-01 thru A2-13 Due: Tuesday October 6

• A2-14 - Create a subclass of one of the asteroids classes that adds a new capability. Some examples of what you could do: create a subclass of Rocket (or ArmedRocket) that shoots flame when the thrusters are fired and/or plays a sound when thrusters are fired, create a subclass of Asteroid that know when it's been hit (instead of doing this test in loop()), create a subclass of Asteroid that splits into two smaller Asteroids when it's hit.

A2-14 Due: Thursday October 8
