Week 3 – creative reading response

I think a strongly interactive system is one where the user and the system affect each other. It is not just clicking and seeing something move. It feels like a two way conversation. The system responds fast and clearly. The user understands what caused the change. The user’s choices matter and can change what happens next.

In my p5 sketches, I mostly use mouse movement and clicks. The shapes or colors react, but the interaction is sometimes very basic. It does not always feel deep. To improve this, I can make the sketch remember what the user did before. The drawing can change over time based on their actions. This will make it feel more alive and less repetitive.

I also want to give better feedback. The system should clearly show that it is responding. Small changes in color, size, or movement can help. I can also use more controls like the keyboard. This will give the user more ways to interact. I want my sketches to feel like small worlds the user can explore, not just simple animations.
