Assignment Set 4
Iteration
4.0 Exercise — Everything, But
Draw at least 10 visual objects (e.g. 10 circles, or 10 rectangles...) on the screen using a for loop. Each object should be a different size. Make them all the same color except for one by using a conditional statement.
4.1 Exercise — Checkerboard
Create a checkerboard pattern using nested loops. Something like this:
Hint: There are a number of ways to do this, but this may be a lot easier for you if you ensure the size of your grid (the number of boxes horizontally and vertically) is an odd number.
4.2 Project — Wallpaper Pattern or Interactive Surface
You have two options:
Create a pattern for wallpaper using nested for loops (or just multiple for loops). Please be creative and spend time perfecting it. The more individual repeating elements in your pattern the better. The more complex and intricate the pattern, the better. Choose a color pallete from this site to work with. Feel free to add more colors than specified in your pallete. Take a look at the following for inspiration:
Create an grid-based animated pattern that loops. Choose a color pallete from this site to work with. Check out any of Saskia Freeke's Geometric Animations to get an idea of the type of thing I'm looking for. Scroll through her tumblr feed here. Click next and previous on the right side of the page. There are hundreds.
Student Work
ALSO! Check out the modulo operator video here. It will help to create patterns.
To hand in your work get the URL from the editor and link to it from your index.html page. To receive credit, it must be uploaded by class on the date specified. Label it clearly. Here is help if you need it.
Projects will be graded on both creativity and implementation.
