2.1. Week 1

2.1.1. Lecture: Introduction

2.1.2. Workshop: Using Libraries

2.2. Week 2

2.2.1. Lecture: Variables and Flow Control

2.2.2. Workshop: Graphics

2.3. Week 3

2.3.1. Lecture: Arrays and Functions

2.3.2. Homework: Arrays and Functions (voluntary!!)

You wanted more homework / exercise to develop your processing skills, here you go. All completely voluntary and optional. Start with the first one, as the other build on top of it. Questions? --> Ask during workshop 03, or email Mathias. Solutions? --> Next week!

  • Exercise Arrays.1: Initialize a list of 8 balls with colors as strings, and draw all balls on screen at a random location in the color specified.

  • Exercise Arrays.2: Initialize a list of 8 balls with colors as strings, and draw all balls on scren at a random location in the color specified. Animate the balls so that they bounce off the screen borders, all with different speeds.

  • Exercise Arrays.3: Initialize a list of 100 balls with colors as strings, and draw all balls on scren at a random location in the color specified. Animate the balls so that they bounce off the screen borders, all with different speeds.

  • Exercise Functions.1: Initialize a list of 8 balls with colors as strings, and draw all balls on scren at a random location in the color specified. Draw the ball with a function that takes the color of the ball as a parameter.

  • Exercise Functions.2: Write a function that calls itself, but stops doing that after 5 times. The function should output number of the call every time.

  • Exercise Functions.3: Write a function that calls itself twice and with every call draws a branch of a tree, so you will get a whole tree with ever shorter branches at the end.

4. Installing Processing

  1. Download processing. Please make sure you are downloading the latest stable release. There are two versions, one with Java, one without. If you are not sure, download the one with Java.

    • For those who know what the JDK is and wants to install Processing along with JDK: You need x32 version of the JDK no matter whether you are running an x32 or x64 system.

    • If you don't understand what the above comment is about, download the one with Java.

  2. Create a directory "Programs" on the C: disk, in the root. If "C:\Programs" exists already, skip this step.
  3. Extract the entire directory to C:\Programs (note, not "C:\Program Files"). if you are reinstalling Processing, remove the entire processing directory first.
  4. Create a shortcut on your desktop to "Processing.exe" for easy access.

5. Installing Arduino

  1. Download Arduino software;

  2. Extract the entire directory to C:\Programs (note, not "C:\Program Files"). if you are reinstalling Arduino software, remove the entire arduino directory first.
  3. Create a shortcut on your desktop to "Arduino.exe" for easy access.

  4. Install necessary Arduino drivers. Follow the instructions in page 23, Chapter 3 of Getting Started With Arduino

    /!\ If you are installing Arduino on Windows 8, the link below explains shortly how to install drivers for arduino on Windows 8.

6. Installing Processing

7. If you have questions or if you need help

  • The assigner will announce a help hour during his lecture.
  • The assigner will be available during this hour only if one or more of you make an appointment.
