Assignment 3
Assignment 4 (Not Online)
Since a set of UI widgets was initially integrated with my Project 2 submission, I've taken this assignment to expand the feature set of the Spirographicdesign tool, allowing the user to define more variables, set colours in a more intuitive way, and export their work for download.
Projects
Project 1
Display the progress of time in a non-traditional way.
ACLOCKALYPSE NOW! (Rollover predictions on left to see more information on right)
After reading an article outlining fears about the possible havoc the Large Hadron Collider may have wreaked on the universe when it came online a couple of weeks ago, I got thinking about doomsday scenarios and predictions (and how each one of them to this point has been wrong). So, I decided to visualize some of these predictions (past and present) in a playful 'apocalyptic clock.' The design of the clock is intended to loosely mimic the USA's Department of Homeland Security Threat Level graphics, which I find equally as ill-intentioned as perennial predictions of doom from various interest groups (religious cults chief among them). However, as the LHC fears provided the impetus for the project, I've also tried to include some science-based predictions.

Project 2
Create your own drawing tool, emphasizing algorithmic generation/modification/manipulation.
Experimental Spirograph Drawing Tool
I chose to develop a Spirograph generator. Users can control the variables of the spirograph during generation, including the radii, offset, increments, and stroke weight and colour. Additionally, the drawing can be played and paused, and can be switched between line and dot mode. When in dot mode, a heavier stroke weight makes the dots easier to see. I'd like to add a feature to export the completed image to PNG, but didn't have time to look into that.
