Processing

Here you can see the code I used to create my programme, it's very simple as I didnt quite understand all of what I was doing!

Here are all the videos I took whilst using the programme Processing, you can view those and look at the pictures of the code I wrote to see how I achieved this.
Below are some of the things I learnt:

- Processing is a programming language!

- Whenever you want something to change during execution, it HAS to be a variable.

- Int = reserve a space in memory for a basic number

- This is how you set up initially!:
void setup ( )
{
}
void draw ( )
{
}

and then you set the size for the window, and then add everything else in!
One thing you must remember is that the computer works through the code infinitely, so it will always be going back to the beginning. So to see the objects moving its very important to command the computer to 'wipe the slate clean ' at the end of the code, so that it can begin again.

We first created some basic shapes and made it move across the screen, and then we were left to experiment using colour and different shapes. I found it very enjoyable however I did find it difficult to understand how what I wrote affected the shapes I was creating.

here you can see I have a short video of another processing sketch that I did, behind the sketch you can see the code i used.

This was my proudest sketch, I used a mouse-responsive function linked to colour, so when you moved your mouse sideways, it would change the amount of Red in the sketch, and if you moved the mouse upwards it would change the amount of blue! ( mouseX mouseY )
