RESOURCES & HANDOUTS

CSC120 Recap Demos for month 1 of CSC220, Fall 2020

Link to the Fall 2018 course.
Why Love Generative Art? is extremely well written, comprehensive, and worth reading.
SunflowersFall2020 demo code for blendMode and filter requires field.jpg, Sunflower.png, and sunWglasses.png.
CSC220F20PixelBrush demonstrates using screen shots as paintbrushes.

Shiffman's textbook's website including Examples and Exercises that will familiarize you with Processing.
Software setup instructions:
    1. On your Windows U:\ drive, create a new folder called Processing.
        U:\ is available anywhere on campus and does not auto-delete files.
        Do not store files on your PC desktop. They will be gone after you log out.
    2. Use the Windows Explorer to create folder U:\Processing.
    3. Every time you start Processing, go to Preferences and change the Sketchbook location to U:\Processing.
        You must create folder U:\Processing the first time you want to use it.
        To run Processing, find Processing under S:\ComputerScience on your PC.
    5. All of your practice and assignment sketches must reside under U:\Processing.
    6. If you Download & Install Processing on your home machine, use the latest version Processing 3.x, currently 3.5.
        I don't usually upgrade the version mid-semester, in the interest of stability, unless I need a specific bug fix.

The official Processing website has many examples and library documentation.
Here is the Library Reference. Keep this handy at all times!
The Reas & Fry book, Second Edition.
We will occasionally import classes from the Java class library, which comes with all standard Java installations.

Java class library https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/sound/midi/package-summary.html
    and https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/sound/midi/ShortMessage.html
MIDI Fanatic's Technical Brainwashing Center is the best site for MIDI specifications.
        Follow Technical Docs and Programming -> The MIDI Specification from that page.
My slides on MIDI and PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) Digital Audio.

MY HANDOUTS

We'll use my solution to spring 2018 csc120cpvl assignment 3 as an intro to interfaces & classes.
Spring 2014 Java slides on exceptions
Spring 2014 Java slides on generics

ASSIGNMENTS (Link to Grad Assistant tutoring info. At least 2 of the 4 GAs have used Processing.)
    Updated (9/15) tutor schedule with CSC220 tutoring included.
There is a 10% per late late penalty for projects that come in after the due date.

Assignment 1 is posted here, and is due by 11:59 PM on Thursday September 24 via D2L. We will have an in-class work session.
    There is an outline web page here.
    Assignment 1 handout doc was updated in red after class on 9/10. The handout code did not change.

    Assignment 2 is due by 11:59 PM on Thursday October 15 via D2L.
        Starting code CSC220F20Assn2_3D for starting your 3D programming.
        TriTexture.jpg for my textured PShape. If you go for the bonus points for texturing, you must supply your own image file.
        CSC220F19Demo3DSphereBox shows how to position & stretch 3D shapes using translate() and scale().
        CSC220F19DemoPShapeassn2 is my 10/1 simplified sketch for developing your custom makeCustomPShape() for assignment 2.
            Build and test your makeCustomPShape() function in this sketch, the copy & paste it into assignment 2's sketch.
        CSC220F20Simple3Da is a stripped-down version of Assignment 2 that demonstrates 3D concepts.
        CSC220F19DemoPShapeCylinder is a simple demo sketch for making a 3D cylinder.

Assignment 3 entails adding MIDI to Assignment 2's 3D sketch. It is due by end of Saturday November 14.
        Here is the handout code that you must PARTIALLY copy, along with code for your new MIDI Tab.
        ConcentricCircles was a previous year's assignment that ran slowly due to plotting many nested circles per draw().
        ConcentricCirclesIntervals speeded that up by creating nested circles in a GROUP PShape, also added MIDI.
            MIDI tab for ConcentricCirclesIntervals; this is a Processing TAB. Bugs fixed and key commands enhanced October 2020.
            Use ConcentricCirclesIntervals to figure out your PATCHES and CONTROLLER effects.
            http://midi.teragonaudio.com/tech/midispec.htm documents the controller effects.

Assignment 4 involves building recursive 3D grids of shapes. It is due by end of Thursday December 3.
    This was a pre-Android, pre-COVID CSC220 project.
    Here is the handout / starting code and my PNG EasterEgg image that you must replace with your own.

Assignment 5 is a very basic maze construction program, due by the end of Thursday December 10.
    Here is the starting code. UPDATED 12/8, top of draw(), to fix a Processing bug found by a student.
