This week for ICM I worked with Ravyn to create this sketch. We started making a slider where if you moved across the sketch there would be more and more rectangles filling the screen erratically to make the user feel trapped, but once we started playing around with the algorithmic designs we dropped that idea. It took us a while to figure out how to make something interesting, but we applied what we saw at the workshop to make a rotating design that can be manipulated with the mouse. We would like to add more user interactivity in the sketch so the user can have more of an effect on what is produced, as it is currently pretty limited.
It was the first time I tried collaborative coding, and at first I thought it would be easier to divide up the work between sections, but I realize now that only works when the idea is more solidified. When you are just experimenting and seeing what happens it is nice to do it with someone else who can help generate ideas and catch mistakes in the code.
