Games from Nothing: Black & White Exercise #3 — Clock

ex4.1

For this lab assignment I used the transforms lab and made some adjustments in order to make it a fun ride. There is one draggable object and the other four squares are turning respect to each other clockwise. The goal is to drag the draggable without touching the movable hands (just like a watch).

Once you start dragging the object all of the shapes become black and that represents that the draggable is available to move it around.

This was one of the exercises that I struggled with because It was first time for me using the matrix in Processing. Even though it was a bit challenging I think as a whole I learnt how to set up a basic matrix and use translate in order to complete the lab assignment.

I wanted to use repetition and patterning in different ways as it explains in Chip Kidd A Kid’s Guide to Graphic Design.
