2D Transformations

I wrote a separate page about 2D Transformations. Read through that.

Some functions that you are going to need:

• translate()
• rotate()
• radians()
• pushMatrix()
• popMatrix()

Clock Assignment

Create a new kind of clock. Minimum requirement is to use seconds, minutes and hours, but feel free to also use the date.

Some things to maybe try out:

• Check out John Maeda’s 12 o’clocks for inspiration https://codingtrain.github.io/12oclocks/
• Instead of numbers or hands of a clock, try controlling colors, shapes and movements with the values coming from the time functions.

Upload it to our OpenProcessing class.

This assignment is mandatory for everyone (including the more experienced programmers).
