Programming

We’re going to look at a range of topics to do with media computation as a lens to explore programming concepts. This page will show how all this fits together. Before we get started with that, we’re going to be building a simple game as a warmup and to help us get used to the tools and language we’re using.

This week we’ll be making use of functions to simplify our code and implementing more algorithms.

Pallet Swapping

In this session, we’re going to look at a technique which can be used to alter sprites in games, specially vector-style or pixel-art images.

Tinkering Graphics Algorithms

Here are some algorithms which might be of use for tinkering graphics.
