Intro to Programming

Write you answer as a comment. You should paste the questions into the comment:

Introduction to programming. During the second block
some of us will focus on programming, so we are giving an introduction here.

The command Local x makes a variable named x that is
only recognized by the program. It is like a box inside
the computer that has the label x and number can be put into it.
WRNUN x writes the value of the box on the screen.
Declare x does the same thing as local x but the name is
recognized by all other programs (names).
LOOP is the same as REPEAT and is used for programming.

What do you think will happen on the screen and why? We will discuss in class on Thursday.
For every answer write also a clear explanation.

Communication between students in the Math Art class

Hi,

This is Dani your math teacher. It is a long weekend and maybe you want to use some of the time to learn about each other and about the local environment.

So I created this blog for you for this purpose.
Maybe you want to write a poem? Share what you have been doing? Ask questions?

Suggest to meet together?

problem 4

Make this picture in the simplest possible way.

problem 3

Your first task is to do this picture. The diameter of the largest circle is 80 pixels. Name the picture a.



Then do this one in the simplest way you can.

Sea star4

Make it as simple as possible. Use SPIN SPINR etc...

Review questions for 2008 Summer Course

For each of the following pictures try to do it in seelogo and if you want to share and help others paste the answer as a comment and other students then will be able to paste it into the editor and see the result.


When you create the pictures try to make the answer as simple as possible. I will pretend that I am one of the students also and also submit answers.

Some questions are pictures and some are in words.

Here is the first question (picture)

You must try this folks

Paste this program on a new seelogo.

It makes sound!!!!

It opens all kinds of possibilities for the final project

Template for Experiments with Dymanic Art

Even if you don't yet understand all the details you can play with this
template that I created for our conversation today.
The suggestions are in the seelogo program itself.

To get to the program go to seelogo
File
Open from Web

and paste the following link.

Dynamic art experiments (Tuesday on)

This is for for art experimentation:

We already play with the hsb command in one of the art lessons:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dhgj3bkq_153cgq86cd2

Here is a seelogo program to experiment with it:

local h s b
h=0
s=100
b=100
solid hsb h s b [circle 200]

h ranges from 0 to 360 like the rainbow and s mean saturation (how much color) and b brightness (how much greyness).

In each comment we can put a different experiment with dynamic art
