In this assignment you will create a design of your own choosing, perhaps a coat of arms or some interesting logo, using the Processing programming environment. You may find this PowerPoint presentation helpful as well as the grey scale
Your program will use a variety of the Processing graphics functions. Your project will need to incorporate at least one of each of the 2D drawing primitives (see the Processing API page here) and look for 2D Primitives.
Your project will also define four functions:
- void setup()
- void draw()
- At least two of your own custom functions
Advanced features:
- Animation!
- Using other drawing API beyond 2D primitives.
- Using advanced color effects like alpha for opacity effects (like ghosting).
You've already accepted this assignment on github. The next step is to clone the assignment to your laptop. Clone the repository, just like you did for the Portfolio and Think-Java.
- Start the Sublime program and choose File | Open Folder then browse to and open the coat-of-arms folder.
- Modify index.html to personalize the title, headline and footer and save your changes by choosing File | Save
- Launch Processing (if it isn't already running)
- This next step may seem odd, so hold tight.
- From Processing, Open the coat-of-arms.pde file. Do this by, browsing to coat-of-arms project, this directory also contains a "coat-of-arms" directory.
- So ... apcs\java\coat-of-arms\coat-of-arms\coat-of-arms.pde
- There should be an empty coat-of-arms.pde file in this directory.
- This will be the file you edit and check in when you are finished.
- Create your masterpiece.
- git add .
- best to do this at the ROOT of your project directory
- git commit -m "My first processing project"
- git push.
- After you have pushed your code, publish your github project.
- Finally, update your portfolio to reflect your finished project.
