    See this week’s assignment here.  Play is the overarching concern of my life and artistic practice. I take Play very seriously––so much so in fact that I feel the need to capitalize it. Play refers to the action as well as the feeling: the action of Playing and the feeling of Playfulness. While there are…

    The Dodgeball Game from my second week here has taken hold of me and will not let me go. I had always suspected that there was an easier way to do what I was trying to do when building the game, even after last week: Each week a I learn a new p5 skill that allows…

    This week I got the chance to go back and refine my previous project, the Dodgeball game, using functions, objects, and arrays to simplify what was admittedly bonkers code. I struggled mightily with recreating my vision for the game with the assignment. In preparation for the assignment, I familiarized myself with arrays, objects, translate, and…

    I am noticing that so far the things I am most interested in making have elements of silliness and play to them. I think it corresponds with my interest and delight in puppetry. In my mind,  inanimate objects + characterization = hilarity. Right now I’m finding it easier to replicate known assets but I would…

    I decided I wanted to make a simple, continuous movement-type game for this week’s assignment. Enter Dodgeball: The p5.js Game! Last week in class, we learned how to make an object move across the screen with variables. However, we hadn’t yet gone over how to make objects repeat on the screen once they reach the…
