Practice

I have been playing around with processing and trying to figure out a few things that i can use in my program. I broke it up into three sections first getting the snake to move around, then getting the bugs to fall down then getting the sound in the program. To accomplish these goals i had a lot of work to do because i had no idea where to start.

This image is showing where i had started from trying to make just one ball move down the screen.



This image shows how i made several balls fall down the screen, but it needs a bit more coding work in the function of the balls and so they keep repeating going up and down the page, because at the moment when the first ball hits the bottom they all restart and is kinda tedious. 


The next image is showing how i developed the snake or worm function and have added with the falling balls, also this shows how i have changed the snake into a paint splatter to involve that type of theme.

I toke a step back from the paint splatter to simplifier the code a bit and give keep with the basics of the idea instead of really going over the top with the paint idea.

This shows how the two have been put together as i believe it gives the code a basic but effective look when the sound is introduced i have a number of ideas that could help with this type of theme.

Theme

I have came up with an idea for the theme or function of my idea which is using the structure of the snake game. Using the mouse to control a snake or worm and having little bugs falling down the screen and when u click on a bug it makes a noise, so you can make a more substantial sound by clicking on plenty of bugs. The snake or worm will keep with my idea of having the paint so it looks like spry paint or paint splashes.

PROJECT 2

For this project we had to expand our knowledge of processing and develop a code that involves interaction with sound and picture. The code must be generated to have interaction with the user and explore different possibilities involving sound. 

My initial ideas

 I have drawn these threes concepts to find out what i will enjoy doing the best:
