Quick Bits : Introduction
« on: Mar 2nd, 2004, 10:37pm » |

This last december, I've been working with my partner Heidi on a Processing workshop targeted to beginners.
For many reasons, the workshop never took place, but there is some materials I thought I could publish, in the hope that it become helpful to some people in the future (Mirco?...)
The thema of the (only) existing part is STATIC FORM, that can be translated to "drawing stuff procedurally".
It's made of five chapters that have to be followed progressively, plus an additional "extra / parallel" chapter for the adventurous:
1) PRIMITIVE BASED DRAWING (USING PREDEFINED FUNCTIONS)
2) PARAMETRIC DRAWING (USING VARIABLES)
3) PRIMITIVE BASED DRAWING (USING CUSTOM FUNCTIONS)
4) ITERATIVE DRAWING (USING LOOPS)
X) EXTRA: DRAWING WITH THE MATRIX
All this is pretty raw and uncommented, so if you have specific questions: any post in-context will be welcomed, and answered in-context too!

P.S. the code examples look like hell due to the weird html formatting done when posting to this board, but... once cut and paste into Processing, it gets back too something readable!

ariel,
i'm working on a perl script to takes a sketchbook made
in processing and converts it into a series of webpages. this will make it possible to simply make a website out of your tutorial.

cool!
I guess the ideal for this "tutorial" would be to have in addition to the existing pieces of code:
- preview pictures
- small interleaved exercises
- bigger "conceptual" exercises
q: does your conversion script do syntax-coloring on the fly?
