ask:
It is totally reasonable to simply refactor an assignment from previous weeks with new organization ideas (System class, inheritance, higher-order array functions, and more!). Some other ideas (along the lines of the visual design of a particle system) are below and, as usual, you are welcome to invent your own exercise inspired by this week’s material!
i couldn’t do much this week, because of my one-credit haptics class over the weekend (which ran for 12 hours or so). so, i made something & submitted it for the sake of submitting an assignment.
made a quick sketch to get the width of each letter.
// a letter
class Letter {
constructor(alphabet) {
this.alphabet = alphabet;
this.pos = createVector(random(0, width), random(0, height));
this.w = textWidth(this.alphabet);
this.h = textAscent() + textDescent();
}
display() {
noStroke();
fill(255);
text(this.alphabet, this.pos.x, this.pos.y);
noFill();
stroke (255);
rect(this.pos.x, this.pos.y - textAscent(), this.w, this.h);
}
}lines between the same attract type:
whatever. i can’t think straight, and i didn’t do a good job. but i was very occupied this week because of my one-credit haptics class.
