This is the first time that I downloaded this program. the first thing that I done on this program is to learn the basics and what each code creates. Here is a video of me learning how to create a basic shape such as a rectangle on processing.

for example:
rect = rectangle
ellipse = circle

rect(200,250,20,20);

What this piece of code mean is that the shape is going to be a rectangle on the x axis which is 200, the y axis is 250. The size of the rectangle is going to be 20 width and 20 height

After getting use to playing around with shapes, I then went onto create a simple design on the lesson. As you can see in the video, this is what I came up with. I created a design with just using a circles and squares and then deciding where I want to place them. The next lesson that I learned about was colour. The colour 0 is black and the colour 255 is white, the in between is different tones of grey. If you repeat 3 numbers it will represent the colour scheme RGB.

The code for filling in a colour is:
fill(number,number,number);

The code for stroking a colour is:
stroke(number, number, number);

HERE'S A SPEAD UP VERSION OF HOW I MADE MY SHAPES INTERACTIVE!

Interaction is such a big part of processing. When I had to learn the interaction part, I found it tricky. But I soon got the point of what we had to do.

if (mousepressed) = a command that is given. This command means that it will happen.

or "else" is command that shows the program to not process the information. In other words it's trying to tell the program not to follow this instruction.

After watching the tutorials many times so that I can get a better understanding of the programming, I then went onto creating my own designs on the program and this is what I came up with. I chose a colour scheme and a design I drew on paper. This was then drawn into processing by using the coding that I just learnt from the tutorials.
