[Curriculum] Week 3 - User Interaction #4

Closed vsmart closed 7 years ago

vsmart commented 7 years ago

Learning goal

The topic of week 3 is to use Quil's user interaction functions to make a simple animation that the user can interact with. For example this could use the mouse-x and mouse-y, or the key event input functions.

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-3] folder.
Think of bonus ideas to expend on the sketch - add these to the readme.

IIRC once mouse-{x,y} enter the sketch the animation can get pretty wild and confusing (thanks trigonometry)! I wonder if this lesson should also explain e.g. printf debugging (so you can see what the mouse position actually is etc)...

here an example: https://github.com/Realtin/clojure-bridge that was my project when I was an attendee. A rectangle that follows the mouse and changes color and size accordingly + has lines attached to the edges of the screen and the edges of the rectangle
