FUN3b

Programming with Processing

Class Description:

While FUN3a was focused more on techniques, syntax, and grammar, FUN3b will focus on application and the utility of the skills they already know. We will begin with a review of Arrays and Loops, since those will be essential in just about every game/project we make. After that, we will introduce the critical programming concept of "Classes". Classes are a new way to think about variables are "objects" while programming, and will fundamentally change the way the students program.
