CST112 Project 2 (Chapter 3)

• Design some object of your own (this should be a different object than the one you created for Project 1) that can be manipulated by moving it around the Processing output window as follows:
   
  • The size of the output window should be minimally 250 by 250 pixels
     
  • Draw an object (something completely different than what you created for Project 1 and which is complex enough to use many of the functions that we learned in the first two chapters).  The object should move with the "center" of the image following the mouse pointer (you should determine an arbitrary location that is the center of your object); use the mouseX and mouseY system variables and the appropriate arithmetic calculations from the center of the object to implement this functionality
    
    ( You will receive a maximum of 8 points out of 10 if you complete this much of the assignment successfully )
     
  • For "additional points" do either or both of the following:
     
    1. For one (1) additional point of credit, control the fill color for the object using the mouse's x-coordinate and y-coordinate values; add more red or green or blue to the fill color of the major parts of your object as the mouse moves from left to right and from top to bottom; the object should be at its full natural color when it reaches the bottom-right corner of the screen
        
    2. For one (1) additional point of credit, the background color should change from white to black based upon the position of the mouse in the output window; if the mouse is exactly at the upper-left corner the background color is white; if the mouse is exactly at the lower-right corner the background is black; at any other location in the output window the background will be some shade of greyscale which gets darker the closer it comes to the lower-right corner; to accomplish this requires an arithmetic statement that starts with the sum of the mouseX and mouseY system variables and continues by factoring it so the result of the calculation is exactly 255 when the mouse is in the upper-left corner and exactly zero (0) when it is in the lower-right corner
        
  • Full credit (10 points out of a maximum of ten) will be given for successfully completing all parts of this assignment
     
  • Click this Play Project 2 link to view a sample application that shows all the different effects (this is the full credit version with a "Smiley Face")
     
  • Insert the project number, your name and the name(s) of your teammate(s), your e-mail address, the submission due date and one or two sentences that describe the sketch as comments at the beginning of the program (the same as you did for Project 1); additionally comment each of the sections of code

• Students may work on all projects in teams of two or three, and, if so, all students in the group must submit the same project to their own dropboxes in Blackboard.  In the text box's dropbox, as well as in the source code documentation (comments), state the name(s) of the classmate(s) with whom you worked.
   
• The completed project archived into a ".ZIP" file submitted electronically via an attachment to a Brightspace dropbox is due to Prof. Struck no later than 11:59 p.m. on the date listed in the course outline.
