  • Please read AssignmentDescription.

  • /!\ Please follow the instructions below carefully. It will save us a lot of time.

  • For your convenience, please buy a copy of Getting Started with Processing, by By Casey Reas, Ben Fry. e-Books and hard copies are available from O'Reilly

  • Before the first lecture, Please download and install Processing on your laptop.

  • Always bring with you your laptop, with fully charged batteries and power cables.

1. Summary of the structure

  • This assignment takes seven weeks. Each week has:
    • a two hour lecture,
    • a two hour workshop,
    • and 12 hour self study tasks.
  • Exercises given by the lecturers,
  • Two challenges. One for the first four weeks and the other for the last three weeks. Your result of the challenge will be exhibited or presented during a scheduled workshop.
    • All the assigners and the students will visit the exhibition and give comments to each other.
    • Some of the results will be selected for plenary presentation.

1.1. Challenges

Challenge 1
Creating static visual arts. At the end of this part, every student is expected to be able to
  • create an artistic poster that demonstrates beauty and complexity, using Processing
  • print the result and present it on a form board (A3 only please), for the exhibition in the fourth week.
  • Examples for inspiration
    • attachment:examples.jpg

  • What to be delivered:
    • Source code. Please zip the sketchbook and deliver the zip file. Please use the zip format only.

    • PDF of the print.
    Challenge 2
    Anything creative and interesting, utilizing the knowledge learned from the lectures and the workshops. An interactive application that uses both Processing and Arduino is preferred.
  • What to be delivered:
    • Source code. Please zip the sketchbook and deliver the zip file. Please use the zip format only.

      • A TXT file including a link to a YouTube video that demonstrates the interactivity. We would expect a good quality video. Please include the link in a plain text file with an extension “.TXT”. The video shall be titled as

        CreaPro 2012: <a meaningful title> by <your names>

        Please also include a brief description (in the TXT file as well as on YouTube) about the concepts behind your video and the implementation techniques. Tag your video with “creapro”.

    3. Deliverables

    • Feedback request after the assignment:

      • Please send your request only to one of the assigners, according to this RegistrationList.xls.

      • Attach all your deliverables to the request, as identical to the files in the DropBox folder. Including:

        • ZIP file of the source code from Challenge 1.
        • PDF from Challenge 1.
        • ZIP file of the source code from Challenge 2.
        • TXT file containing the YouTube link from Challenge 2.

    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. 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.
