This final project should be an implementation of a creative idea inspired by the concepts in this class. Our suggestion is to pick one of your module exercises and expand on it, however you may choose to combine concepts from multiple modules or start something new. There is no requirement to use a particular aspect of programming. The idea and your enjoyment and interest in that idea is what counts. Some things to remember.
Keeping things simple and small in scope is a plus. If your project idea is a big one, consider documenting the larger idea in your written report but implementing just a small piece of it.
Who is your audience? Consider making a project for a small audience, even a single person like a family member or friend. . . or yourself. This can help to focus your idea and design process. "Generalizing" the idea can come later (or maybe not at all.)
Please fill out the course evaluation as soon as you get the chance! We very much want to hear about your experience as we constantly work to improve Code! 2.
Week 6 Assignment - Final (Part 1)
For the first week you are required to submit a written proposal to the class forum. Also include your work-in-progress sketch. Please use the following template to create your proposal:
Final Documentation Template:
Project title.
One sentence description: Can you summarize your project in one sentence?
Project abstract: ~250 word description of your project.
Process: How did you make this? What did you struggle with? What were you able to implement easily and what was difficult?
Inspiration: How did you become interested in this idea?Quotes, photographs, products, projects, people, music, political events, social ills, etc.
Visual reference: Drawings, photos, artworks, texts, or other media that relate to your idea.
Code sketches: Share any sketches in progress or that you have previously created that you plan to build upon.
Submit your idea and work-in-progress on the discussion board, and submit the link to that post as your week 6 assignment.
Week 7 Assignment - Final (Part 2)
This week you will submit the code for your project as well as written documentation. Please note there are a few sections designed for reflection, so be sure to address those sections (highlighted below) in your final submission!
Final Documentation Template:
Title
Sketch link
One sentence description
Project summary (200-500 words)*
Inspiration: How did you become interested in this idea? Quotes, photographs, products, projects, people, music, political events, social ills, etc.
Visual reference: Drawings, photos, artworks, texts, or other media that relate to your idea.
Process: How did you make this? What did you struggle with? What were you able to implement easily and what was difficult?
Code references: What examples, tutorials, references did you use to create the project?
User testing/feedback: Did you show your project to anyone? If so, what feedback did you receive and how did you apply that feedback?
Next steps: If you had more time to work on this, what would you do next?
Submit your documentation and p5 sketch on the discussion board, and submit the link to that post as your week 7 assignment.
