Project one, our first dsdn 142 project is now complete, and looking back on it, it was quite a learning process. Coming to grips with coding and processing and using them to make something that actually looks beautiful was probably the biggest learning curve and challenge of the project, as I, and probably most people have never done something like that before. Now at the end of the project, I think I'm starting to get the hang of coding a bit better and have got a better understanding of how I have to go about making my visualisation through code.
Whenever I ran into trouble while I was coding (which happened a lot), I always tried to look at what I was trying to make, and try and simplify my coding attempts. Dumb it down and go back to the basics. Or otherwise, go back through my variables and actually read through them again and the places where I used them in my drawing code to try and refresh my understanding of what I did previously in an attempt to see if that could help me get to my next step.
I think in my next project, I'd like to spend more time on processing, do more experimental stuff to get a stronger understand of coding because I felt that my limitations in being able to code well, made it very hard to get to and create the idea that I wanted my wallpapers to look like in my head.
