+===== Intro to IM =====
+**Place:** Inside the teaching lab that is hidden somewhere deep in the Arts Center\\
+**Time:** Wednesday, October 26, 2016, 2:40pm – 5:20pm
+----
+=== Forword ===
+  * Checking attendance
+  * Felix's Photobook
+  * [[http://tinyurl.com/z6xmzcf|Languages]]!
+  * Review Homeworks:
+     * Everyone show their stuff.
+     * Any difficulties, insights?
+     * Discuss printing the work!
+  * Discuss Open Studios (November 8th – Intro will have a table to show work. Any projects still functional?)
+=== Functions & Objects ===
+== Functions ==
+    * Main concept: programmers are lazy.
+    * Unofficially: functions are a way to help programmers in their laziness. A **reusable chunk of code**. Less typing = good!
+    * Officially: "a named section of a program that performs a specific task. In this sense, a function is a type of procedure or routine."
+    * Functions are **declared** somewhere, and then **called** somewhere else.
+    * **Scopes** (in processing, {})
+    * return value (void, int, bool);
+    * In Class assignment: Make a "Felix Broken Screen" using functions
+{{:felix_broken_screen_v01.jpg?direct&200|}} {{:felix_broken_screen_v02.jpg?direct&200|}}\\
+//The above pictures show Felix laptop after it fell down...// ([[felix_laptop_crash_sketches|Some examples of student projects.]])
+== Objects ==
+    * Metaphysical idea of something (the **Class**), from which we can create actual things (the **Object**). EG:
+      * What makes a person?
+        * Data: Height
+        * Function: Movement? How do we see them?
+        * In class assignment: Create a person Class, and several people objects.
+      * We can clean up the code by using different tabs
+=== Assignment ===
+  - Make a screenshot of your artwork (the assignment that you showed in todays class) __and__ the accompanying inspiration, and upload it via NYU Classes.
+  - If possible fill in your name [[http://www.felix-beck.de/nyuad/teaching/doku.php?id=intro_to_im_11-08-16|here]]
+  - Make a visual art piece OR game to display at the Open Studio.
+    * It must be 1200x1200px
+    * Accommodate 2 "interactors", who will use WASD and the Arrow keys respectively.
+    * Since it's projected from above, it must be viewable from all sides
+    * If you need inspiration look at the works of Casey Reas, Ben Fry, Dan Shiffman
