Working on this project, I wanted to play around with scenes as well as find a way to incorporate some randomly generated elements. I knew that I wanted to get away from a black background, so I found an image with several different colored blocks and zoomed in on it and then set it to move around the screen as a background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I originally thought my project would consist of rectangular shapes, so I generated one to move in the layer above the background. However, then I started to think about drawing lines in front of the moving block. My first idea was to see if it would be possible to record a mouse movement and then play it back inside of the mouse watcher. After a little playing, I used a random actor to generate lines. This led me to the idea of more and more lines being generated before the project loops back to the beginning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I began to explore ways of going to different scenes so that the lines would begin to draw on top of each other. As we discussed in class, I could have accomplished this more efficiently by using the jump actor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the best parts about this project to me was seeing different ways people laid out their workspace as well as getting ideas for new actors. Through this project I feel much more confident about basic kinds of actors as well as working with scenes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
