Computers are getting smarter all the time. [Computer] Scientists tell
us that soon they will be able to talk to us.
(And by ‘they’, I mean ‘computers’. I doubt
scientists will ever be able to talk to us.)
-- Dave Barry
Classroom Examples
 Lecture 5
Snow Angel
Move cursor near center, click mouse and draw the angel. The design
originated as part of the Processing Language tutorial materials. |
 Lecture 5
Colored Robot
A static design, which does not change. The design
originated as part of the Processing Language tutorial materials. |
 Lecture 7
Pacman
The old-time video game hero moves right, eating white pills.
The inclass example was simply a exercise in program development to serve
as a platform for discussing programming. |
 Lecture 9
Albers in a Click
In assignment 6, students generated images à la Josef Albers' famous
"Homage to a Square". This, together with similar programs
for Mondrian and Pollack, supported a discussion about how such
programs raise questions about what an artist's contribution is to Art.
It's not an art class, so none of the questions could be answered, but the
role of technology to raise the questions was discussed. Click! |
Lecture 9
Creative Programming Assignments 9 and 10 asked students to write
interesting programs, something that would hold your attention on the screen
for a few moments. These were four examples.
Lines of Red And White
Batches of ten lines connecting random points, colored red or white at random.
|
Seattle Rain
Batches of ten raindrops of random size of slightly different color, chosen at
random.
|
Heart Beat
A heart (Valentines is coming!) that changes color from bright to dark, looking
like it is beating.
|
Stick Man Walks Towards The Abyss
A stick man is animated to stride towards the abyss ... does he fall in? Watch!
|
|
 Lecture 12
Timer
Click to start the timer; click to stop it. Check the code ... it is a
chance to produce an application in 50 minutes by layering functions. |
 Lecture 22
Personal Diary in XML
This diary is an example of a student-built XML project, showing the
embedding of images, video, links and other features.
|
 Lecture 26
Steganography
This tranquil image of fishermen contains a hidden image of a jubilant
crowd in Cairo. Unfortunately, the extraction is not Web supported. To
see the hidden image, move this text
into an empty Processing window, and save it. Next, put the "stegFog.png"
image here into a folder called "data" in
the same directory as the program. Run the program, click on the image,
and see the crowd.
