Homework #3

 https://editor.p5js.org/kmccloskey2/sketches/azOhEfAi2

In my project I attempted to use the random function, conditionals, and Boolean variables. I was trying to think of ideas of something to turn on and I immediately thought about lights and thought it would be cool if I could make random colorful lights on a Christmas tree. I have a box labeled "lights" so the user knows what they are clicking on. When the user clicks direct in the box, the lights turn on and off. My work is different than typical buttons that can be found on website because the box itself is not interactive. For example, when you usually click on a button, the button either changes color or size to indicate to the user that it is pressed. This is something I would add if I could figure that out in the future. Besides that, I think using the random feature for the lights is interesting because it is not just still dots and looks as if it is sparkling.

Example

https://p5js.org/examples/interaction-kaleidoscope.html Here is an example that I find very compelling. Specifically, it is very cool that the person using the code can save the picture they draw and reset to draw a new picture. It is also very interesting how the picture is drawn 12 times with the same mouse movement. Although it appears as if the code would be very complicated, the main part of the code under the draw portion is surprisingly very short. Although the code is complicated, it is fascinating that the width/ height is simply / 2. I believe that the code looks more simple than expected because the person used a lot of variables to keep it clean.

OOP & Arrays Homework

 https://editor.p5js.org/ltomlinson/sketches/5JSxx32Zr For this homework, we first met on zoom which was very helpful to me because Lennon was very familiar with the concepts. While on zoom, we looked at past projects which were useful for me to see examples of how classes and arrays can be used. For this project, Lennon coded the design which was very unique and a very cool concept. This collaboration was very helpful to me as Lennon was able to help me understand the concepts better through this code. A lot of the implications of using arrays and classes were new and advanced for me so seeing so being able to ask questions about specific lines and concepts in the code through the process is great for me to use in my future projects.
