Assignment Description: For this in-class exercise, you will team up with 1 or 2 other class members and create program where object(s) that move off the screen. Examples of objects: vehicle, fish, balloon, motorbike, airplane, stick figures, robot, rocket, tractor, football, boat, or even two different items moving at different speeds.
Get started:
Begin by going to Oaks to join a "Moving with Variables" group.
Click MANAGEMENT>Groups. Then View Available Groups
Further Requirements and Guidelines:
- You cannot do it alone. You must have at least one teammate.
- You will have part of class time on 9/15 to get oriented.
- Then since there will be no class on Monday 9/18, you and your partner can use this time to complete it.
- In addition to your main moving object(s), be sure to create a background or platform to improve visual interest. Examples are grass, pavement, clouds, other environmental artifacts, etc.
- Code a comment to add the teammates’ names at top of the sketch.
- You may decide how to share your code, but a good way may be to sign into www.sketchpad.cc and hit the yellow Share button. It’s just a thought; you don’t have to do it that way.
Group submission: Info
- SUBMIT: One member of the team will zip and upload to the Discussion area called "Moving Variables" so that other classmates will be able to view and comment on your design.
Optional: Adding a medium sized screenshot to your design might entice fellow classmates to be more interested in unzipping it. - The format of the file to be uploaded is .zip.
- Grading will be in the Participation Category, and worth 2% of final grade: i.e. 1% for the group part and 1% for the individuals.
- Due Date: Monday, September 18 at 8pm.
Individual comment: Info
Each individual is responsible for viewing and making substantive comments on at least 3 sketches. Substantive doesn't necessarily mean long. Some examples of areas you can address are:
-did you learn anything new from looking at their code?
-what was the most interesting part of the program?
-the level of detail or realism in any part of the sketch?
-etc.
Due date for making Oaks comments is Friday, Sept 22nd.
