CART214: Class Two

I worked with flash ActionScript this week. I’ve never tried to use the code itself to draw before, it was a real puzzle. I still didn’t figure it all out yet. I wasn’t able to figure out how to fill circles made with a looping code, but I’ve learned how to read the code a lot better.
I found that it takes a lot of effort to simulate random variation! What is hard by hand is easy digitally, what is easy by hand is hard digitally.

ActionScript code used: (Point1_October_Code) (Point2_July_Code) <---- Partially automated

(Vertical Symmetry, Horizontal Asymmetry, Contrast)

ActionScript code used: (Line1_November_Code) (Line2_August_Code) <--- much simpler
