For our Processing project we were given several lectures from Seb Lee and then left to use what we had learn to build a simple game. I am really please that I have managed to complete my game to a playable standard as I was really struggling with the collision detection between the aliens and the paddle/player. I could not get this piece of code to work but once someone explained what I was trying to do in english and told me to write it down and then transform it into code I really understood what I needed to do.
I feel I have learnt a lot from Seb because I started out with now knowledge of Processing and I think I have picked up the basics well. I am able to create a simple game using example code and I know I can look through a piece of code and understand what it is doing. With a bit more experience with the code I think I could pick up a lot more in depth elements of Processing.
After this project I think I could go into a designing job and design for Processing with a good knowledge of what the developer/coder would need from the designer. This could be a good skill that I may need in the future with the popularity of Processing on the rise.
Overall this has been good learning project that I think has gone quite well. I had times when I was lost in the code but once I dissected the code I could figure out what it was i needed to do. A great project.
