Class #17
No links today since I want to show you some of your fellow student's first assignment. I'm thrilled that they are so varied and distinct and I'm also thrilled that so many of you solved your own technical problems or pushed yourselves beyond what you had learned in class.
I'll show you some stuff from Amber, Asta, Ellen, Judith, Kyla, Neil, Stephanie and Nguyet. They all did strong work that I think we can talk about a bit. The full selection of files are on the server in the OCTOBER_ASSIGNMENT folder. Check out what everyone else did when you have time.
Finally, Madeliene, for her project, did a nice hack of the Royal Society of intertubes that I found to be generous and great to look at too - http://23ac.appspot.com/ She added the radial buttons at the top with theme options, One of them being the original hacker's work, the other being her own pacman hack and of course the classic version.
When Paul shows you how to post these on the university servers, I'll link to some of the other pieces on this site.
Also, Madeliene pointed out that image bucket can do batch uploads, so you might want to get an account there so that we can post some of the earlier projects that you did.
For today, I want you to look at the addendum to class 16 post and do a bit of navigation scripting in your flash movies. I want you to have that as an option for your other projects this term.
I'll go into more detail on navigation options, but I wanted to get some scripting on line so that you could copy and paste, since I got tired of looking for curly brackets in the right places etc. etc.
We probably won't have time to go into video uploading today, but use your work time to download an flv, convert it to an avi and start playing with it, we aren't using final cut pro here but there are a lot of things we can do to video with the tools we have. (alternatively, you can output a flash file to avi or quicktime as well) Play around with it.
Finally, some of you did halloween pages and here is a good one from Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenschied: http://www.igac.org/container/midnight/
