Homework 1

Our first Homework was to create a slideshow of previously taken pictures. My topic was branches and this is my code:

PImage[] images = new PImage[9];

void setup() {
  size(300, 300);
  frameRate(5);
  for (int i = 0 ; i < images.length; i++)
  { 
    images [i] = loadImage("b" + nf(i+1, 2) + ".JPG");
  }
} 
void draw()
{
  int counter = frameCount % 9;
  image(images[counter], 0, 0, 300, 300);
}

which resulted in this:

Homework 2

In this homework we were supposed to do a collage. Mine was in the style of david hockney.

PImage[] images = new PImage[25];      // Array für Bildvariablen erstellt
PImage[] parts = new PImage[25];      //  Array für die Teile der Bilder erstellt
int x;
int y;

void setup() {
  size(500, 500);
  for (int i = 0 ; i < images.length; i++)
  { 
    images [i] = loadImage("b" + (i+1) + ".JPG");
  }
  for (int o=0 ; o < parts.length; o++)
 {
  images [o].resize(width,height); 
  image(images [o], 0, 0, 500, 500);
  x = (o % 5) * 100;
  y = (o / 5) * 100;
  parts[o] = get(x,y,100,100);            //Aus jedem Bild wird nur der Teil entnommen der benötigt wird
 }
  
}
void draw() {
  background(0);
  for (int i = 0; i < parts.length; i++){
    int x = (i % 5) * 100;
    int y = (i / 5) * 100;

  image(parts[i], x, y, 100, 100);        //Zusammensetzung aller Teile aus den verschiedenen Bildern zu einem Bild
  }
  for( int p = 0; p < 4;p++){
  rect((p*100)+98, 0, 4, 500);
  rect(0, (p*100)+98 , 500, 4);
  noStroke();
  }
  saveFrame("hockney.JPG");
}

the result:

Homework 3

PImage[] images = new PImage[19];
PImage alpha;

int w=100;
int h;

void setup() {
  size(400, 500);
  frameRate(10);
  background(255);
  for (int i = 0 ; i < images.length; i++)
  { 
    images [i] = loadImage("IMG_0" + (701 + i) + ".JPG");
    alpha = loadImage("alphamask.gif");
    images [i].mask(alpha);
    images [i].resize(100, 100);
    println(i);
  }
  
  
} 
void draw()
{
  if(mousePressed){
     int counter = frameCount % 19;
  image(images[counter], mouseX - 50, mouseY - 50);
  }
}

Homework 4

For the fourth homework, we had to work with a soundboard, which plays different audio files depending on where you click on an image or which number you choose. The following code includes a atLocation function which checks for circular areas and a variable called playingLocation, which shows an ellipse for the length of the playing soundfile at its position.

import ddf.minim.spi.*;
import ddf.minim.signals.*;
import ddf.minim.*;
import ddf.minim.analysis.*;
import ddf.minim.ugens.*;
import ddf.minim.effects.*;

Minim minim;

PImage img1;
int n=9;
int activeLocation = -1;
AudioPlayer[] players = new AudioPlayer[n];
int[][] locations = {
  {160, 140, 20},
  {220, 220, 20},
  {70, 300, 20},
  {300, 235, 20},
  {230, 530, 20},
  {110, 520, 20},
  {330, 470, 20},
  {243, 96, 20},
  {138, 433, 20},
};


void setup() {
 minim = new Minim(this);
 size(400,600);
 img1 = loadImage("img2.png");
for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
 players[i] = minim.loadFile("sound" + (i+1) + ".mp3");
}
 
}


void draw() {
  image(img1,0,0,400,600);
  fill(0,150);
  noStroke();
  for(int i=0; i < locations.length; i++){
   int[] loc =locations[i];
  
  int x= loc[0];
  int y= loc[1];
  int r= loc[2];
 
 if(atLocation(x,y,r)){
  activeLocation = i;
  ellipse(x, y, 2*r, 2*r);
  }
 if(playingLocation(i)){
  ellipse( x,y,2*r,2*r);
 }
  }
 }     
 boolean atLocation(int x, int y, int r){
      return dist(x,y,mouseX,mouseY)<r;
  }
  
  boolean playingLocation(int i){
   return players[i].isPlaying(); 
  }

void mousePressed(){
 if(activeLocation !=-1){
  for (int i=0; i<n; i++) {
   players[i].pause(); 
  }
  println("Sound number " + (activeLocation + 1));
  println(mouseX, mouseY);
  players[activeLocation].rewind();
  players[activeLocation].play();
 } 
  
}

void keyPressed(){
  for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
    players[i].pause();
  }
  int i = (key - '1');
  
  if(i>= 0 && i<n){
  println("Sound number " + (i+1));
  players[i].rewind();
  players[i].play();
  }
}

Homework 5

This homework circles around pixel-sorting, as the pixels circle around other pixels and get the colour information of their neighbours.

Homework 7

This is a funny webcam delay I made. Try it. ;)

import processing.video.*;

Capture cam;
PImage[] buffer;
int frames = 60;
int write = 0;
int read =1;

void setup(){
  size(640, 360);
  cam = new Capture(this, width, height);
  cam.start();
  buffer = new PImage[frames];
}

void draw() {
  if(cam.available()) {
    cam.read();
    buffer[write] = cam.get();
    if(buffer[read] != null){
      image(buffer[read], 0, 0);
    }
    write++;
    read++;
    if(read >= random(frames)){
      read = 0;
    }
    if(write >= random(frames)){
      write = 0;
    }
  }       
}

Final Project

My final prohect trys to discuss the topic of nature. What's natural at all? Aren't the things we consider as natural, like forests or rivers, influenced by humans and so therefore not "natural". So if these things are nature, why isn't the city, with all its streets and buildings, nature after a while? The Processing sketch I made for my final project shows the nature and then a randomly generated tree, which is filled with the texture of a city to symbolise this topic. You can restart the sketch with a key and it will draw a new random tree. https://www.flickr.com/photos/137372572@N08/26087001545/
