Exercise 3: Programming and Interactivity

DUE NOVEMBER 28 BY 11:59 PM


Each student will:

Use 'Processing' to create an interactive digital project that evokes, embodies, and communicates
(through format, colour, shape, and interactivity) one of the following adjectives:

● mesmerizing
● serpentine
● turbulent
● audacious
● elegant
● persnickety
● trippy
● jocular
● elusive
● structured
● arcadian
● tricky
● subversive
● ethereal
● sensual


Each project must:
● At a minimum, address the following parameters: format (dimensions), colour, shape, and
interactivity.
● You must comment your code to explain what it does. If you borrow code from a sample
Processing project, you must modify the code and explain your modifications in comments.
● Further exploration in Processing (via the information and tutorials available on the Processing
website) is encouraged and there are no limitations (within appropriate boundaries) on
what you are allowed to do in Processing.
● The goal of the project is to use Processing to create an interactive digital project that
successfully reflects the adjective you have chosen.
