For this assignment, I wanted to further the idea I had for assignment #2, where I made (what I called) a inescapable prison and I wanted to further the exploration of how I would like to imagine the person who would stuck in it look like. I wanted the concept of how the harder the person would try to escape, the worse the prison got. I wanted to make it tortuous in a way. So I started experimenting with the push(); and pop(); functions and decided that it would look appealing to have the person gain speed, which is a concept I have implemented on the prison walls.
I think the most difficult part of making this was understanding how each function worked. However, I am proud of myself for figuring out how the pop and push mechanism worked because I had an issue with both of them and I was doing something very wrong with the arrays. I did end up only using one but at least I understand how they both could be implemented.
// Add Square at the end of array every time mouse is pressed
squares.push(interactiveSquare);
}
// Keyboard pressed = make the end of array fast
function keyPressed() {
squares.push(interactiveSquare);
}
Reflection:
I would love to experiment with different shapes. I honestly considered making it Super Mario-related by having the rectangle be a Mario power star and have it make that effect, exactly how it is in the game but I wanted to make this one more. I will try to make the star in my free time.
