10/next

• day 3:
  • finish up "Writing a function with input and output" example
  • figure out exercises

10/6

• day 3:

  • "Functions that return values" - mostly remove this, but keep some language for below
  • "Math functions in C++" - talk about returns, create table of math functions
  • "Writing a function with input and output" — example with distance function

• translations now covered in day 1, remove from day 4

• motivate day 2 "Parameters" better

  • maybe should change width / height of letter?

• generate table of contents for everything

  • look at balance of exercises

day 1: draw a scene functions and translations day 2: bouncing ball draw loop, member variables, boolean, if statement day 3: rain / letter loop / stars? objects (ofPoint), functions with parameters and returns

- need to motivate parameters
- need to motivate returns
- homework assignment should naturally require writing your own function

day 4: 3d scene 3d graphics, transformations, rotations

• robby conversation

  • more variable examples in day 1
  • more expressions in day 1
  • random?

• move stuff around to make days more even

  • move function stuff from day 1 to day 2
  • move end of day 2 to day 3

• divide content up into "instruction", "exercises" and "homework"

• incorporate robby's code examples into instruction

  • 04-functions-intro introduces setup before parameters, but in lecture notes, this is flipped around. parameterized function is introed at end of day 1, where as setup is introed day 2.
  • probably should just remove 04-functions-intro?

• add "daily cheat sheet" to each day

• is "else" or "else if" used anywhere?

• day 1

  • drawing
  • ofTranslate
  • functions (no returns or parameters) -> exercise: draw name multiple times
  • variables

  • random? -> homework: draw a random scene
    • use functions to organize code
    • at least one function must be called more than once
    • use random
