Lecture 9: Custom Objects
Date: Wednesday, September 30, 2015

Utah Teapot at the St. Louis Science Center, July 2012.

Agenda

Announcements
- Friday's class is open lab time. I will be at a conference with limited availability. You are encouraged to come make progress on your work for the class, but this is not required.
- Ambrosia and Python are now available on (almost) all of the Lima Lab Macs, and the Macs in the Commuter Lounge. Further rollouts will continue this week.
Lecture 8 assignment recap
In-class Exercise 9 - (10 lecture assignment points) due before the end of class.
We will work together on a new model that makes use of many of custom objects we have been learning. Work along to create your own model (can be a variation on the class version, but could be exactly the same).

Please demonstrate your program or submit only your model file by email before you leave class. Email submissions should use a meaningful subject line, clearly indicating the course number and assignment name.

Lecture 9 Assignment

Due at the start of class, Wednesday, October 7.

Please submit answers to these questions either as a hard copy (typeset or handwritten are OK) or by email to terescoj AT strose.edu by the start of class. Please use a clear subject line when submitting by email (e.g., CSC 112 Lecture 9 Assignment , Joe Student). We will discuss these questions at the start of class, so no late submissions are accepted.

Create an Ambrosia definition for a lamp shade similar to the one on the lamp below by using a sweep. You need not run this in Python/Ambrosia or generate an image, but you may do so if you wish. You need only create the lamp shade, but you are welcome to develop the entire scene. (6 points)
Modify the "cups" example from class to use a Spindle to represent the cup object instead of a Difference. You need not run this in Python/Ambrosia or generate an image, but you may do so if you wish. (6 points)

Examples

The example we develop in class will be linked from this space.
