spring.05: Code Literacy

// Class Project Ideas

1. We create a resource site where anyone can share OOP code used in Processing. Users of the site would create accounts and post single-class code and create tutorials for their uploaded code. Users can then provide examples of how to use the class. Other users could then extend the code and the Web site would hyperlink in a viral fashion similar to a community site (think friends on myspace or friendster). Code could be rated to help determine the cleanest/most-organized/most-innovative code.
2. We create a program in Java that previews the code of different users, similar to the filters menu in Photoshop.
3. We create a simplified paint program in Java that could exhibit the psychological differences between users. Users would choose a category that best defines them (musician, artist, writer, etc.) and then proceed to paint in the program. Artwork could be exported as a graphic and could be posted to a Web site. Differences between users could be examined based on the user group they chose to join.
4. We continue to experiment with variations of code and create screen captures for some sort of gallery. The gallery could be an interface where users could navigate through parts of a virtual gallery. Or we could create a series of desktop wallpapers.
