Creative Programming for Digital Media & Mobile Apps

34 calificaciones

This course is for anyone who would like to apply their technical skills to creative work ranging from video games to art installations to interactive music, and also for artists who would like to use programming in their artistic practice. This course will teach you how to develop and apply programming skills to creative work. This is an important skill within the development of creative mobile applications, digital music and video games. It will teach the technical skills needed to write software that make use of images, audio and graphics, and will concentrate on the application of these skills to creative projects. Additional resources will be provided for students with no programming background. At the end of this course, you will be able to: * Write creative, audiovisual programs in the Processing environment that run on desktop and mobile * Programatically manipulate sound in creative ways * Display images and image sequences * Generate interactive, algorithmic graphics * Work with a 2D physics engine to create a basic game

De la lección

AngryDroids

This week we will be creating a physics based game using a Physics engine based on Box2D. Physics engines are a fantastic way of creating dynamic gameplay that models the real world. Box2D is one of the most popular because it is optimised to be fast for 2D games that don't need the heavy processing of a 3D engine. It is used in many important 2D games, most famously Angry Birds. We will be using boxwrap2D which is a Java port of the original C++ version of Box2D, that is designed to work with Processing. Since boxwrap2D is java only we have created our own port to JavaScript, which interfaces to the javascript version of Box2D, but provides an almost identical interface to the Processing version.

[SOUND].

so that was week four. And you've seen how to use a physics

engine to make a basic game. And how the use of physics can really

bring richness to the game play and strong interactivity.

And there's a mass of games out there on mobile platforms.

Maybe you want to talk a little bit about.

>> Well. >> The potential.

>> Well there is a lot of potential because you can use those kind of

techniques to easily make a casual game. And casual gaming is the it's one of the

big up and coming genres in markets. So you can here, it's the sort of game

which you can play when you're on the bus or you're on the train.

And it's really engaging. Because really, really small changes in

the way that you use and massive impact. And you know you, you cant, it's quite

difficult to get exactly the same thing each time although it's always

deterministic. So it's always the same if you get the

same thing. So yeah it's a really useful thing for

making games. But also we did a little bit of some

sound [INAUDIBLE], and collision didn't we?

>> Yeah so, so as usual we try to get creative with the sounds as well as the

graphics, so, so, so we were, we were looking at how.

This way we're sort of working from the opposite direction to how we did last

week. So we were kind of parameterizing the

audio from what was going on in the graphics.

So we were kind of sending back impacts velocities from, from the physics engine

and using that to control the playback. >> Yeah, that worked really well.

So there's a lot more you could do. As always, its just a thing to get you

started. It's a jumping off point.

>> I mean, I think you can, there's, you can look at the game you already play

and see all the games on the the android and iPhone markets.

And loads of them use physics and you could probably start figuring out how

they're built and trying to build your own versions.

>> [INAUDIBLE] Yeah. >> Or coming out with your own games.

>> that's right. >> [INAUDIBLE] It's not as if it's

going to go away. It's a genre which is going to be around

for a long time. And it's something which is easy enough

for you to build in 2D with any source of engaging.

So yeah you don't have to make big 3D monstrosities to be making, to be big in

the games market. Next week we're going to be doing

something which is a bit more complicated.

We're going a bit deeper. It's Facebook integration and also using

stuff like the camera from your mobile device.

So that's going to be an interesting week.

There's a lot of new stuff there. A lot of people are interested in social

media and integration and that. We're really kind of covering that all

over then. So and remember to check the forums, and

to talk to our students who are there who are able to, you know.

Who are going to respond to you and any questions that you have.

And we'll see you next week. >> [MUSIC]
