[Curriculum] Week 2 - Animation

[vsmart]

Learning Goal

The topic of week 2 is drawing a simple animation: a moving ball, beating heart, etc.

Todo in preparation

• Build a simple quil sketch that helps showcase the goal.
• Fill in the Readme with instructions on how to build this sketch, and explaining the core ideas.
• Open a PR to push your solution sketch to the [week-2] folder.
• Think of bonus ideas to expend on the sketch - add these to the readme.

I guess there's a few ways of achieving this, I wonder if we ought to present a few recipes for different approaches?

As a bonus it could invite the learner to consider the trade-offs (i.e. if you block the loop with an animation you can't collect mouse events), possibly with a lead-in to fun-mode (i.e. animation tick as state).

Ah - just realised user-interaction doesn't happen until next week! Perhaps that bonus is a bit early! Well maybe this lesson could lay the groundwork...

I was thinking of just using (frame-count) for this instead of incrementing the state? So we can save state for the week after.
