Project 2. post 6

Here is my idea with entirely original code. http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=27150. It does everything that I want it to so far however there are a few issues. When you create a ball too close to the side then it just stays along that line and buzzes a lot. Unfortunatly Ive seen other pieces of code with this problem and it seems that its hardto fix, therefore Im going to leave it alone. the only thing I want to do to improve it now is to make it prettier and add a high pass filter to remove the ticks and clicks that occours when there are more than a few circles floating around

Here is a piece of code that is from another application that I adjusted as much as I could to do what I wanted it to http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=27150. Unfortunatly I didnt understand most of the class function and wasnt able to get much use out of this piece of code. whaat helped me most of all was getting help from a classmate who showed me and taught me  A LOT about coding. He taught me about arraylists and classes properly and helped me introduce minims and sound into my peice of code I wrote.

Ive been looking at breaking the code to try and figure out what it is I need to do. at the moment it seems that class and arraylists are what it is that I need to use. I broke a piece of code and came up with this http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=27147 it has helped me understand that this is not the way to do what I want. What I needed to do was look at creating a class for my circles which I found out breaking my next piece of code.

Ok Ive settled on my final idea and started coding it. sort of. My Idea is similar to the one before except all the shapes are circles. When the mouse is pressed it will create a circle that bounces off the sides of the screen, when it hits the side it will create a tone from  scale, I have chosen the E major for conveniences sake. Depending on where the mouse is the circle will be a certain colour and produce a certain tone when it hits the side. Heres what Ive coded so far http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=27146. As it is they dont do anything and they are pretty plain. and theres no sound. What im going to investigate first is moving the circles.

Ok so my interim presentation idea turned out to be a dud and I was advised to change basicly the whole thing. Ive decided to change it to more like a keyboard but abstracted so that different shapes (possibly moving) to act as the keys and when pressed they create a tone.

Project 2. Interim Presentation

Here is the post for my interim presentation. Basicly my idea is based around a guitar. Sliders will be used for the strings that change the pitch of the note. Ive also considered having the background change colour when it produces a tone. So if its a major it will be a warm colour like a yellow or red and when its a minor it will be a cold blue and for 7ths a jazzy looking purple.

Here is a theremin I found on processing that sort of uses a similar idea just using a theramin design rather than a guitar. http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=9264  Ill probably investigate the code for this application
