Creative Coding I

Session 05 - Systems (55 points)

Please complete this session by February 28th. Completing the session should take < 40h.

Our last topic is systems. We are done with the class and hopefully from here on you have enough coding competencies and algorithmic thinking developed that you can build more complex systems - by using code, nodes, hardware… Also, hopefully you, yourself, can further evolve with what you have learned from this class (🐛 -> 🦋).

Task 05.01 - The Final Project

The final project is an individually chosen project.

Maybe a portfolio page? 👑

Maybe something useless? 😁

You can do whatever you want but your project must make use of text-based programming. It can also be an experiment, part of a larger project, work in progress, or a learning path. Ideally it should be something online, but this is not a hard requirement. You don’t need to submit a project plan beforehand. However, I am open to discuss your plan with me in advance.

The time dedicated to the final project is ~40h.

The official work period for the final assignment is Feb. 1st - Feb. 28th. The deadline for the final project is February, 28th.

  • The deadline for the final project is strict and for a late submission, I reduce 15% of the total points.
  • If you are sick within the official work period, you can get a deadline extension based on a doctor’s note (“Attest”). You must hand in the Attest within 3 days.

As submission, I require

  • a description
  • the source code
  • a link to the build / online deployment or such, and
  • at least one representative image.

Submit your code in your assignment folder as assignment 05 or add a link there to where to find the code.

Task 05.02 - Feedback
