Final concept - revisited
Monday, December 3, 2007
As expected, I changed the concept of my final project entirely. I am working on a Processing program that will 'map' where I and one other person are and display our intersections in a meaningful way with aesthetics in mind. For me this project is a challenge, in that it combines a number of things that I have been trying to get down all semester. At this point I have false GPS data in two local txt files. They are being pulled in as strings and then the lat is reading as an X value, and the long as a Y. I put 'mapping' in quotes, because the lat and long are not being used in any meaningful way independently. Instead, it is merely the relative location that I am concerned with. I am also interested in having objects that run in the background to convey the sense of chaos/movement of the city more generally. At this point I have a sense of which direction I am going in, as well as some of the basic classes set up. The challenge right now is scrolling through the values and connecting them.
