IDA Digital Design, Day 15

Playing Around With Randomness, Algorithmic Thinking and API's

Todays Assignments:

First
Create a random robot.

Third
Where and how do you want to incorporate randomness, algorithms, or API's in your project? What role might it play? A brilliant partner that throws in ideas and connections? A clown? A disturbing element? A second voice on its own?

Dive into your song to find ideas. Take a core phrase that inspires you. How does it guide you?

It is not about a wild jumble of things, but ask yourself what the content-related role of chance/algorithm could be. Jot down, sketch ideas and concepts and present them to your group.

Assignment for Tuesday:

Elaboration and further development of your project idea with the new aspect randomness, algorithms, APIs. Conceptual, design, layout, sketches. First tests/implementation in code.
