I have always wanted to code, and i took a similar coding class in my past. I think it will be good to keep this foundation going especially in an environment where I can apply my code into other creative environments and be surrounded by others doing similar things to keep me on track and inspired to see these projects through.
I have plenty of creative ideas that I feel like i can’t execute on because i don’t have the coding background. One of them for example is a simple web based game called “sing around” where you can sing along to your favorite pop hits to pass the time in different forms (maze, coin map, flappy bird style, etc.)
This was pretty straight forward because I feel like I am able to think like this. i did find it annoying at times when i would mix up the w & h or the x & y because I wanted to do the code in one shot. it did feel interesting that I was always starting in the top right corner and then placing the element over to the middle where my body was where if i was painting on paper i might start in the middle for example.
i thought it was clever that i was able to use the order of drawing to know that the head would overlap stylistically
i actually started with the head first and then thought that it would be cooler to add the head second because of this reason.
also i liked the size of this stroke weight
using arc
//mouth
strokeWeight(2);
fill(200,200,200);
arc(200, 230, 20, 25, 0, PI + QUARTER_PI, CHORD);
This was by far my most favorite part because it gives my smile some character by not using the full circle and then also adjusting the w & h so they are slightly unequal
