CST112 Project 5: Chapter 6

• Design some object of your own (this should be a different object than the ones you created for any previous project) that moves around the Processing output window.  The sketch should draw the object repeatedly so that multiple objects move around the output window during the excecution of the draw() function.  Any loop structure (for, while, or do while) may be used to produce this result (there will be a major deduction in your grade if you do not use a loop structure in this assignment)
   
  • The size of the output window should be at least 400 by 400 pixels; nevertheless the width and height of the window should be the same
     
  • As usual grading on this assignment will be based on complexity and originality.  Therefore rather than present actual required versions of the assignment, here are three suggested versions (you may implement the project in any way you want) for either partial or full credit:
     
    • Version 1–a sketch of this complexity would receive partial credit, a maximum possible grade of 8 out of 10 points :
       
      • In this version the objects appear in the output window each at different random locations; the range of locations for the x- and y-coordinates are values between zero (0) and the width and height of the output window respectively; the screen redraws at a frame rate of two frames per second

    • Version 2–a sketch of this complexity would receive partial credit, a maximum possible grade of 9 out of 10 points :
       
      • In this version the objects move across the output window each one after another; when the mouse button is clicked, the objects reset back to the left margin of the output window; objects that are lower in the output window have one major element darker

    • Version 3–a sketch of this complexity could receive full credit, a maximum possible grade of 10 out of 10 points :
       
      • In this version the objects move across the output window from top-left to right-bottom each one after another; when objects reach the bottom-right or top-left they "bounce" (reverse directions); as the object gets lower in the output window one of its major elements gets darker

  • Again be reminded that you are not limited to the versions above but may use your own creativity.
     
  • Insert the project number, your name, 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 Projects 1, 2, 3 and 4); additionally comment each of the groups of variable declarations as well as as 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.
