Code Development Well, against all odds, it would seem my final coding project is complete (or as complete as I’m willing to make it – adding more code is now making it all very unstable). In the end, there was a bit of a struggling …
Code Development It’s going to be a recurring opening statement for my (late) journal entries this week that I’m officially now behind. A week of being sick, running a music stage at The Finders Keepers markets and an overly ambitious freelance schedule have all ganged …
Class Work We were introduced to sound within Processing this week. Using primarily the Minim library, we took a look at how to get sound both in and out of our sketches. I’m quite interested in how sound can be used in programming and installation …
Concept Research With the presentations held in last week’s tutorial, we had something of a respite from the weekly code editing and ‘hacking’ tasks. I probably should have been a little bit more proactive and done my own code work, but following the homework rush …
Code Research Launching into more chapters of Learning Processing over the break, I think I’ve come to the first point of really struggling with the concepts presented in the book. Making my way through ‘Functions’, ‘Objects’ and ‘Arrays’, I feel like we’re starting to get …
Class Work This week we were introduced to the concept of creating our own functions, as well as being given a Processing sketch that displayed the difference between the current and previous frame from a connected video camera. For anyone that has done any programming …
Class Work We moved on to dealing with the live input of a webcam this week. It’s a relatively small step within the entire spectrum of Processing functions, but it’s something that instantly offers up plenty of new possibilities when planning an interactive work. Adding …
Class Work Interestingly, the examples shown to us in the lectures thus far haven’t given me any ideas on how I want my own work to function. I think the open brief entitled “Transforming Mirrors” offers such a wide range of possibilities, however, a lot …
Class Work So this is pretty much as basic as it gets: primitive shapes. Just coming to terms with Processing‘s coordinate system, as well as the basics of syntax within the Processing Development Environment (PDE). Points, lines, primitive shapes and stroke/fill colour Processing sketch removed …
