W2261 Paths[edit]

Exercises

Making use of your accumulated knowledge to date (both coding and graphics) and using only path primitives:

Create a skyline (just an outline, no fill)
1. You must include at least seven buildings
2. At least two of the building must have a domed top
3. You must have at least one arched bridge between buildings

Getting started:

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects$ git clone https://github.com/TheCoderMerlin/IgisShellD W2261

To compile:

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects/W2261$ ./make.sh

To execute:

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects/W2261$ ./run.sh

Your associated url will be: http://www.codermerlin.com/users/john-williams/dyn/index.html

Exercises

Create a new project, W2262, using W2261 as a starting point.
Fill the background (sky) with a blue color.
Fill all other objects with various, solid colors. You must use a total of at least eight different colors (excluding black and white).

Getting started:

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects$ git clone https://github.com/TheCoderMerlin/IgisShellD W2262

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects$ cd W2262/Sources/IgisShellD

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects$ cp ../../../W2261/Sources/IgisShellD/main.swift .

To compile:

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects/W2262$ ./make.sh

To execute:

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects/W2262$ ./run.sh

Your associated url will be: http://www.codermerlin.com/users/john-williams/dyn/index.html

Exercises

Create a new project, W2263, using W2262 as a starting point.
Fill the background (sky) with a gradient.
Fill all other objects with various, gradient colors. You must use a total of at least eight different colors (excluding black and white) and at least four different gradients.
Add an animated sun which rises in an arc above the eastern horizon in the morning and sets below the western horizon in the evening, moving across nearly the entire canvas. The sun must initially appear in reddish hues, becoming a bright yellow at its zenith, and again in reddish hues as it sets. The change must be gradual throughout the "day".
BONUS: Alter the color of the buildings in accordance with the time of day

Getting started:

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects$ git clone https://github.com/TheCoderMerlin/IgisShellD W2263

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects$ cd W2263/Sources/IgisShellD

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects$ cp ../../../W2262/Sources/IgisShellD/main.swift .

To compile:

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects/W2263$ ./make.sh

To execute:

john-williams@codermerlin:~/Projects/W2263$ ./run.sh
