Class 09 – 2016-11-08: Javascript: Canvas simulation II (and animation)

New problem set ps-09

Review problem set: 5:45 – 6:30

• Review ps-08

Reading: Higher Order Functions. 6:30 - 7:00

If you don't feel confused I am inclined to think you are. We will cover simple for-each example in class.

Odds & Ends: 7:00 – 7:30

• Recursive functions, L-Systems and tree demo
• Tweening
  • What is it?
    • example tween animation
  • Why is it useful?
  • How can I use it?
    • Use a library like tweenjs

Look at "Shepherding random numbers part II" (deluxe random walking) 7:30 - 7:45

(maybe) Look at "Shepherding randome growth (part III)" http://inconvergent.net/shepherding-random-growth/

Multiple walkers in code-pen 7:45 - 8:45

This is related to Today's problem set Simulation-2. In this weeks problem set we will expand upon last weeks random walk by using multiple walkers.

• Phase 0: Develop the initial state together ~10 min.
  • Some dots on the screen
• Phase 1: Move the dots over time.
• Phase 2: What happens when we reach an edge?
• Phase 3: Exploration. Can you make this more interesting?
