VideoThe Avatar Creation I finally finished editing.
So currently I working on one of the animations for the coding project I’m working on. Hopefully it will animate beside the rest of the text. If not, then I will be having some problems that I will have to work out. As far as the other code is concerned, I think I have a handle on what I’m trying to do. For one of my sections of code, I’m trying to work on transitions, color patterns, and image size.
For Transitions:
My main problem is working with have fast the picture fades in and out of the background. I’m also concerned with shading as it’s a huge part of transitioning from one image to another.
For Color patterns:
I’m trying to come up with color swatches that both matches the visual and auditory art presented in the code. I’ve noticed that color hexes tend to follow the RGB color wheel and not CYMK. Although I learned that you can convert RGB to CYMK so that your colors are vibrant and not set so passively.
For Image Size:
This isn’t a problem. Or rather, it’s not as big of a problem like I thought it was going to be. In fact, most of my problems came when I was trying to resize the image rather than the code itself. I came to realize that I was making the code too large to fit the image, rather than making the larger images and visuals smaller.
The Tutorial and Let’s Play I haven’t been able to upload
In the video I explained the process of simple code, but what I forgot to do was explain the last code that was displayed on the screen. That was complete my fault. The last code I used in the video was an example of what I am going to be using for my final project. I should have made that clearer, and I realize that I didn’t do a good job of articulating that. (Rather I suck at explaining things anyways I’ve noticed.) The code in this video is a simple code that uses transitions and switches over to text. It’s a common code template that is used for role playing in fourm sites and also used for displaying one’s work. I want to use this style, because it’s not as frequently used like many others. Also what I am trying to do is find a site that can handle this code and many other codes and post them up like they are pieces in a gallery. That way my audience can sift through each piece without having to exit out of one thread or one page to look at another page to get to my creations. Hopefully this idea can be finished by the end of week 15

Brainstorming and Tutorials
I think the hardest part of designing and using any type of coding language is knowing what you want to create and understanding how to create it. What I want to create is basically a website catered to the creation of stories, the process of creating that story, and also the other projects that go along with it. So what you will see when you click on the link is a page dedicated to a writer with another connecting link that connects to a few short story pieces that they’ve created, and also a separate page for miscellaneous add-ons that the writer wants to add. So it would have elements of Archive of Our Own, Tumblr, and also 8tracks. But this is only one idea I have, and I’m still trying to flesh out all the other kinks in the idea.
So at the present moment, I’m trying to learn how to code using Python. With Python I am able to create interactive commands that allow me to create interactive activities and stories for an audience to enjoy. With Python the hardest part is learning how to use and create commands. The second hardest part is learning all the functions. What I am also trying to learn is how to use HTML as a way of designing a website that can handle all the components that I want to create. Also I’m trying to learn how to use board DOHTML as a way of creating templates for authors and creators to use.
