For this week’s assignment, our class was tasked with integrating sound into a p5 animation. This assignment was an interesting challenge, as I aimed to make a drum pad, usable both on a desktop and touch screen device, that played different lyric sections of Daft Punk’s Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. I tried three different methods[…]

This week our group re-evaluated our project concept based on user feedback from our previous class. Our users made two concepts clear: 1. The metaphorical connection between fireflies, fire, and personal/psychological connection was not entirely clear 2. It is not universally intuitive when given a jar to try and catch fireflies Based on this feedback,[…]
This week, my group was tasked with developing a project description, a system diagram, timeline, and bill of materials in preparation for our playtesting. As a group, we constructed our final narrative and drew out the necessary components provided in the images below: Essentially, we will have 3 components linked to a p5 sketch –[…]
This week’s assignment was to create a sketch using pixelated images and describe it under specific parameters. I created a “Who’s That Pokemon” game with Neta Bomani – our description is as follows: We based our animation on the “Who’s that Pokemon” television bump sketch. We were asked to describe the experience in 5-10 words,[…]
the work documented in this post has gratuitous use of the middle finger. discretion advised I guess. With my partner, Sarah Liriano, I shot a stop motion animation, set to Oliver Nelson’s Reuben’s Rondo. In it, my character struggles with his anthropomorphized middle finger, after being jostled by a colleague. Though the tone of the[…]
For my Physical Computing final, I have two potential ideas: 1. “One Track Mind” One-track mind is a turntable, with an RC car set atop it. The car and turntable would be moving in opposite directions, at the same velocity, so that the car would stay in the same place on the turntable while it[…]
With my partner, Simone Salvo, I created a “talking” skull, which would play a Donald trump quotation sound-byte, display a corresponding fake tweet, and flash red, white, and blue eyes – all activated by a hand press on Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot. In creating this project, we used Arduino Uno because it gives out higher voltage[…]
Without realizing it, I went ahead in the week we were supposed to learn about the basics of asynchronous communication (week 6) and tried to set up a feedback system with two types of serial input (a week 7 concept). With the help of my instructor, I discovered that (unsurprisingly) more work was needed to[…]
This week we were tasked with cleaning up the code from last week’s assignment. Frankly, I found that my code was clean and satisfactory, without redundancies, so I added an outro level to my animation exercise that prevented my users from surpassing 100 cat clicks. The ease with which I was able to construct this[…]
This week, our class was expected to create a sketch with constructor-based objects, and explain our sketch. I decided to continue on an original idea I had had, a balloon popping game, utilizing new and old skills from throughout my projects. I used arrays to generate my cats, and the transparent “button” ellipses that allowed[…]
