This afternoon I came across this website that allows us to make our own emoji drawings out of emoticons.
It is just like what I coded on Processing over the summer:
This website uses emojis instead.
Feed the Seagulls
Other than the alien game we made for our project, my friends, Christine and Olivia also designed this really fun game as their final project.
The goal of this game is to feed the seagulls instead of the pigeons. It is actually pretty challenging considering how fast they fly.
If your food gets eaten by any pigeons in the game, your game is over.
Mousey
At the end of everything, I just want to thank Mousey, our best assignment buddy, who made our experience awesome 🙂
Dear Mousey:
Well, although you gave us so many problems like sorting your cheese sticks or you traveling path, we still love you since you make us learn so much.
Respect,
Joyce
Mission Impossible- escape the earth
Throughout the three week program we have gone through, our final assignment is to make a project using what we learned.
So our final project was about aliens. A game in which you are an alien and your mission is to get back to your planet by reaching you mother ship.
So the player would have 10 capsules to try. If they do not successfully get onto their mother ship, then they would go through the interactive story of a journey of destroying the Earth.
Roles behind this game:
Jerry, Jonathon: programmers, designers
Me (Joyce): artist

MARVEL, get()
In class, I programmed this animation which the computer draws out the picture of MARVEL with little dots.
In the honor of an Marvel fan:
Bret Victor
While we are working on our final projects, Bret Victor, a programmer who works on many kinds of interactive software, came to our study session and told us about his projects.
He introduced us to some projects he made:
As it is in the photos, users can explore coding through a more visualized way, which is very helpful for people learning programming. It is also an artistic way of illustrating the process of coding.
A cool thing in the speech was how he started to learn programming at the age of 7, starting in a library. Maybe I should go grab a book and just start too 😀
I really appreciate this chance to meet Bret Victor and learn about this new perspective of future programming.
THANK YOU!
Also thank to our teacher, Sherol Chen, who contacted and invited him.
ARDUINO
On Friday I got an Arduino kit for assignments, it was really cool.
