The final stretch! This week I mostly worked on cleaning up my code and messing with colours and constraints for the project. I also wanted to do as many test runs as I could to be sure that it is running exactly how I want it to every time, and noticing things that could be better.
The first was I had to make sure that not only did my fullscreen function move everything to display dimensions, but that the program did too! I tightened up the constraints for the “computer drawing” as well, as I liked that it went off the screen and would come in and out sometimes, a lot of the tests I did would end up with a small pile of pixels at the bottom, and I would never see the drawing come back! I didn’t like having the contraints to close or within the display dimensions, as I felt each time the whole screen would get too messy. That still happens, but it’s more special when it does now.
I also experimented with a variety of colour combinations, but I ended up settling on these warm toned ones, I think with the audio driving a lot of this piece, I wanted to continue to push that warm feeling.
An example of the final product of the code!
But of course, a still doesn’t always capture it. I am so happy that I can create with this little machine, and it can create with me.
