== Summary of the structure ==
 * This assignment takes seven weeks. Each week has:
  * a two hour lecture,
  * a two or 4 hour workshop.
 * Exercises from the reader, to be handed in each week and bundled and handed in in a report on December xx, 2013. 
 * Two challenges resulting in presentations/exhibitions. One on December 10, 2013, for the first weeks and the other on Januari 9, 2014, for the last weeks. Your result of the challenge will be exhibited/presented during a scheduled workshop.
  * All the assigners and students will visit the exhibitions and give feedback to the presented challenges. 

=== Challenges ===
 Challenge 1:: Central heating system. Deliverables are: 
  * a working central heating system.
  * a poster describing the system and the schematic used.

 Challenge 2:: Mini project of choice. A mini project proposed and created by your team. Deliverables are:

==== 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.

<<Anchor(installProcessing)>>

== Installing Processing ==
 1. [[http://processing.org/download/|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.
 1. Create a directory "Programs" on the C: disk, in the root. If "C:\Programs" exists already, skip this step.
 1. Extract the entire directory to C:\Programs (note, not "C:\Program Files"). if you are reinstalling Processing, remove the entire processing directory first.
 1. Create a shortcut on your desktop to "Processing.exe" for easy access.
