Intro to Creative Programming

Finally got my flow chart done. This is still fairly basic, but gets the idea across. The flow is simple, the complexity happens inside of the functions.

There are 8 sensors(copper tapes) on the sculpture. And they both can control the video (pattern) now.

I am going to connect them with my sculpture and hope it would looks pretty. A lot of wires and they might impact the beauty of sculpture. I just try my best to fix them….

Technical problem solved : Arduino/ Sensors/ Connected sensors  to Processing

Thanks to Alex and Lauren for helping me figure it out.

During thankgiving break, I didn’t go much further but I was working on graphics of the program.

I tryed to play a movie file in a 3D space of processing at first, but it was not working well. So I tryed

animated GIF files, to implement simple anumation in 3d space. but it did not work as well. and PNG file neither.

Now I am trying to wrap a GIF file on a 3d object as a texture to dispaly a movie. If it is not working, I am thinking that I should

try png image texture although it would be not animated.

I have been working in two parts.

One getting and sorting out the words and saving them in and txt file

I still have not figured out how to filter out all unwanted nouns.

The other is in using that file and fulling the information to generate the graphic that populates the canvas with images from the list of nouns and then place according to their relative size.
This works so if I do not call for all of the images at the same time.

I need to come up with a method to catch and ignore null result when looking up for a picture.
