Brief Biographical Sketch:
I'm a Princeton junior studying electrical engineering, computer science, and physics. I enjoy coding and teaching which is why I'm doing Splash! Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)M388: Visual Programming 101 (3 hour version) in Splash Spring 2017 (Apr. 29, 2017)
Have you ever played a computer game and wondered, "How does that work? Could I make beautiful graphics like that?"
Well it turns out the answer is yes! In this course, we will use Processing, a programming language based on Java, to develop graphics and understand what it takes to make a video game using these ideas.
No prior experience is required! If you have prior experience, you are still welcome to join the class--you will work on a more advanced project!
We will start with the basics of how a programming language works: variables, syntax, functions. After this, we will learn about Processing and how you can use it to make graphics appear on your screen. Then we will talk about how to make these graphics work in such a way that they can do whatever you want them to (in this case, become a video game).
We will move quickly through all the concepts required to do programming. The class will be fun and interactive. We will begin with a presentation, and then we will work in groups of two to build our very own games!
