This week is interchange week! I attended one of the Heritage and Technology talks, it was focused a lot more on textile design but it gave me a good insight as to how non computer scientists see the world without a technological perspective. I found it cool how they are combining digital art into the designing of physical textiles. As someone who has experimented with digital art I find this very interesting and I loved seeing the combination of physical and digital work.
After waiting for a while, I finally managed to get my PC set up at home! Me and my dad installed a new 2TB SSD as well as searching up a VM to be hosted on that SSD. Within this VM I have admin permissions so I can program at home with the terminal now. I had to reinstall nodeJS, VScode and many other applications but it worked out well. Originally I had to downgrade some node and p5js emulator versions but here it seems to work fine apart from the spacing of my buttons.
I had an issue with a download, I was trying to install live2d, an animation software, and with my own searching I figured out that my VM (hyperv) do not use GPU’s and only use the CPU for graphics. Eventually I installed the software just fine outside of the VM, but I was glad I managed to figure it out as I was confused that I couldn’t find it in the system information, the website downloading instructions weren’t too helpful and the app wasn’t downloading correctly prior.
I added some text for a title, with many lines fading into each other to make an interesting gradient. I also originally added some text to explain my pollute and clean buttons with the p5.text function, instead I realized this would be easier to manipulate using regular tsx code.
I have begun the process of figuring out my class, I’ve set up some commented variables and some methods.
