Exercise 4: Programming and Interactivity

Each student will:
Use 'Processing' to create an interactive digital project that evokes, embodies, and communicates (through format, colour, shape, and interactivity) one of the following adjectives:

• mesmerizing

• serpentine

• turbulent

• audacious

• elegant

• persnickety

• trippy

• jocular

• elusive

• structured

• arcadian

• tricky

• subversive

• ethereal

• sensual

Each project must:

• At a minimum, address the following parameters: format (dimensions), colour, shape, and interactivity.

• Include, via comments within the code, an explanation of how you modified the code for your project.

• Further exploration in Processing (via the information and tutorials available on the Processing website) is encouraged and there are no limitations on what you are allowed to do in Processing.

• The goal of the project is to use Processing to create an interactive digital project that successfully reflects the adjective you have chosen.

Marking Rubric:
Concept/evokes adjective: 20%
Complexity and ambition: 20%
Functionality (the project works properly): 20%
Documentation (explanation and comments within the code): 20%
Overall impact: 20%
Submission Guidelines:

• Name your project: lastname.firstname.assignmeent4.pde

• Post your .pde files from Processing in Avenue to Learn

Note: Failure to name your file properly or submit it in the proper format will result in a 10% deduction from your final mark on this exercise.
