Bouncy Circles Program

     In my programming class, we have be programming in Processing ( for anyone who didn't read the other entry on the class). For the subset of people just mentioned,  see the " Processing Drawing program entry. So far, we have spent two lessons working on a program with bouncy circles. The first lesson, we made a circle that moved across the screen and bounced of the sides. Then we played around with it so the circle changed color depending on where it was on the screen, and drew a line behind itself. This week, we added another ball to the screen. This took most of the lesson. and then we added a third ball. These tasks were pretty much typing the same code over and over, but they were still helpful to give me a slightly deeper understanding of the language that we were programming in. The most interesting thing we did, though, was at the very end. We made the balls bounce of each other when they collided. This was extremely thought-provoking to think about, and I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for reading my blog, I'll try to have another entry done tomorrow (all though it might be published fairly late at night).
