If you have not completed Section 2-5 then you are behind and need to begin making up work outside of class!
All of section 6 is due Friday. Remember to submit your walk cycle to google classroom.
Exporting your animation as a video file demonstration.
Remember to save multiple versions of your walk cycle so you don't lose your work. Today you should save your walk cycle as walk_cycle_9-25
Alien Song - I will survive! - this animation landed the author a job at Pixar.
Intro to the Vehicle Property - remember the Rider rides on the Vehicle - this is the order of selection.
Add the following Section 2-6 Vocabulary to your Java Definitions document:
- Executes procedures simultaneously.
- Tells the computer program how to perform the procedure.
- Default control statement in Code editor that executes procedures in sequential order.Begin Section 2: Lesson 6 - Control Statements slides.
Begin Section 2-6 Control Statements practice. Save the White Rabbit Project as 2-6 Magic Wand. Save optional 1 activity as 2-6 Walk Cycle. We will show each persons walk cycle to the entire class so get yours to look as realistic as possible. Decide if you want it to be a happy walk, a sad walk, a cool dude walk. Personalize your walk. When your walk is finished upload the video file to google classroom. Save activity 2 as 2-6 Helicopter.Begin Section 2-6 Control Statements project. Save the file as Fish_6.
Once you have ALL animations completed you will show these to your instructor for teacher check.
Homework
Continue work on your walk cycle.
What
Lesson 5 - Using Control Statements and Function
•Define multiple control statements to control animation timing
• Create an animation that uses a control statement to control animation timing
• Recognize programming constructs to invoke simultaneous movement
• Use functions to control movement based on a return value
• Create programming comments
Why
Certain movements require coordination, such as walking, sitting, or riding in a vehicle. Coordination may be required for an object's body parts to move in sync, or for two objects to move relative to each other.
Control statements and functions will help you better coordinate the movements of objects, as well as make their movements more precise.
How
By completing the slides, quiz and practice exercises.
