Due: Thursday, February 6, 8pm
Syntax Practice : Do the following debugging exercise: spot the differences. There are 8 differences between those two images. Indicate where all the differences are, and using the rules of Python Processing syntax, indicate whether or not each difference will cause an error. You can indicate the differences using whatever format you'd like — you can use Preview (Mac), Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop or Acrobat, or simply print them out and use pen or pencil and scan or photograph the result.
Name your file "week 2 puzzle" and upload it to Google Drive with your homework this week.
You can take your code from last week as a starting point, or you can start with something completely new.
Based on the "boxes" in-class
example, add some variables to your code. Follow the same
format that I did in terms of
putting variable assignments first, and all your drawing code
beneath that, keeping these two parts of your program
separate. Use at least 4 variables. Use the variables to add
variance into your sketch. Use these variables in some
combined way, using arithmetic. For example, if you were
drawing a person, say you drew the person's head at
the y value of 25. If you then added
a bodyHeight and legHeight
variables, you might draw the person's shoes at 25 +
bodyHeight + legHeight. The idea is that you can change
the variable values and the rest of your drawing code will
adjust and still fit or line up.
Run your code and see how it looks. Take a screenshot. Now, without changing any of your draw code, change only the variable values, and re-run your code. Take another screenshot and compare the results. Experiment with running your code this way several times. The idea is that by only changing the variable values, without changing any drawing code you should be able to achieve a varied range of output possibilities.
Take your code from part 2 above as a starting point, and use the following code as a guide:
Follow the instructions in the TODOs that I've made in comments of that file. There are 5 TODOs.
Parts of this are probably confusing since we haven't talked
about setup() and draw() yet. But
this will lead in to the main topic for next week.
