WoodstockWave

Description

In this assignment you will create your own customized animated wave similar to the Wave created by Jerome Herr, here: https://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/152169.

Instructions

PART 1: we set up the circles

1. Fork this repo.
2. paste the (broken) starter code from the repo's .pde file into processing
3. fix the code, so it draws a set of concentric (inside each other) circles
4. set your own stroke, fill (noFill?), background, strokeWeight, number of circles, width between circles.
5. tinker with your code until you like the look of the circles.

PART 2: we make the circles move

1. add setup()`` and draw() function. and put all your code in one or the other.
2. above (and outside) the setup() function, declare two new variables as floats: arcStart and arcEnd
3. in the setup() function, set their initial values to PI.
4. in the draw function, change the ellipse function into an arc function, by just replacing the word "ellipse" with "arc", then add two more arguments, so the fifth argument is the variable called arcStart and the sixth argument is arcEnd.
5. in the last line of the draw function, increment arcEnd by 0.05
6. run your sketch: you should see a set of circles which start at nothing and wrap around to close themselves.

PART 3: we make them move like a wave

1. we need a stopping point for the movement. declare a new global (above the setup function) variable as a float called maxArcEnd and set its initial value to TWO_PI.
2. in the same way, declare two more global (above setup) variables, both floats, called movement and speed. Set the initial value of movement to 0.0 and set the initial value of speed to PI/60.
3. and we'll make the movement bounce like a wave. This part has some math which you don't need to worry about. Just paste this line into the while loop in the line above where you draw the arc: arcEnd = map(sin(movement + (maxArcEnd / num * i)), -1, 1, arcStart, maxArcEnd);
4. Remember above where you incremented arcEnd by 0.05? Replace that line with a line where you increment movement by speed.
5. test and tinker.

WRAP-UP:

1. Copy your code into your (forked) WoodstockWave repo's .pde file
2. Update the header and footer text of index.html.
3. Go to the Settings page for your repo, and scroll down to the GitHub Pages section. Change the Source to master branch, then click the save button (which is next to the box you just changed).
4. Check your work at <YourUsername>.github.io/WoodstockWave. (You can also find this link by scrolling down to the middle of your settings page.)
5. Create a new pull request.
