In class:

• Share our homework
• Logging values to the Console
• Introduction to variables
• Animating shapes
• p5's system variables

Review Example:

• 1.2 draw_shapes_ui Coordinates and Color. Why Shapes sometimes green?

Video Examples:

• p5js Code! - 2.1 - mouseX,mouseY
• p5js Code! - 2.2 - make your own variable
• p5.js Code! - 2.4 random() - Random Square Design

Remix Examples:

• circleX modulo Expressions
• circleX follow Building an algorithm
• circleX buttons Variables for animation

Assignment due the night before our next class:

• PRACTICE • Week 2 Worksheet

• CREATE • Assignment #2 Create a sketch that includes (all of these):

  • One element controlled by the mouse.
  • One element that changes over time, independently of the mouse.
  • One element that is different every time you run the sketch.

  You can choose to build off of your week 1 design, but I might suggest starting over and working with one or two simple shapes in order to emphasize practicing with variables. See if you can eliminate all (or as much as you can) hard-coded numbers from the sketch.
