Summary of Class Activities:
PROCESSING DRAFT DEMOS!
Usability critiques:
We will spend the class reviewing each other's projects. Please make an effort to look at every project in the room.
Post your review responsibilites on the Wiki at: http://interactivecomputing.pbwiki.com/Processing-project-draft-demo-reviewer-information
Each programmer should negotiate for at least 2 (two) reviewers to file a formal review. This is the programmer's responsibilty. Do not be shy, or ask Dr. Wolz to negotiate. Your writing assignment this week requires you to summarize the reviews from these critiques.
As a reviewer you are required to file 3 (three) reviews. The review sheet is posted.
Please try to complete your reviews in class, but if you can't then submit them on Friday. Do not email them to Dr. Wolz. However, you should email the reviews to programmer asap so they can complete their report. Please email or exchange via USB drive any necessary code files.Advanced organizer for Friday: we will take a careful look at color!
HOMEWORK
Reading: (Due April 3) Read about color in your textbook. Also check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_model
Programming Assignment: (Due Tuesday, April 7)

Journal Assignment: (Due Tuesday, April 7)
1) Comment on how your project is progressing based on the reviews you received. Are you feeling as comfortable working in Processing as you did in Scratch. What can you do in Processing that you can't do in Scratch? What were you able to do in Scratch that you can't do in Processing? What suggestions have the reviewers made to improve, enhance or make your Processing project more interesting?
2) Explain the difference between additive and subtractive color. Why do we use additive color for digital graphics? Explain how the hexidecimal representation of color work.
