Assignment 4

Communication

Instructions

Your assignment is to create two applications and use a communication protocol to exchange information between them.

  • At least one of your applications needs to be written in openFrameworks. The other can be OF or anything else.
  • You can build off of a previous assignment or class exercise. For example, you can send blobs from the color tracker to a different application to control another object.
  • Make sure to use an appropriate method of communication. Think of reliability, speed, data size, etc. when making your decision.
  • If you have an idea but are not sure how to do it, ask about it on Discord and we can break it down and figure it out together.
  • Expose your parameters and use a GUI or some form of controller to tweak them for best results.
  • Some of you will demo your project in class. Your effect should therefore work in the conditions of our classroom (size, layout, light, etc.)

Delivery

  • Name your projects SM04-FirstLast-XXX where First is your first name and Last is your last name.
- OF/
  - apps/
    - seeing-machines/
      - SM04-ElieZananiri-Sender/
        - src/
        - bin/
        - addons.make
        - SM04-ElieZananiri-Sender.sln
        - SM04-ElieZananiri-Sender.vcxproj
        - ...
      - SM04-ElieZananiri-Receiver/
        - src/
        - bin/
        - addons.make
        - SM04-ElieZananiri-Receiver.sln
        - SM04-ElieZananiri-Receiver.vcxproj
        - ...

  • Only submit the necessary files to rebuild your project.

    • This includes sources, the addons.make file, and any resources in your data folder.
    • No project or compiled files.
    • In the example above, you would only keep the src folder, addons.make file, and bin/data if you are using any external assets.
    • Zip the SM04-ElieZananiri-XXX parent directories.
- seeing-machines/
  - SM04-ElieZananiri-Sender/
    - src/
    - addons.make
  - SM04-ElieZananiri-Receiver/
    - src/
    - addons.make

  • OPTIONAL In true ITP fashion, you can make a blog post about your project. If you do, please send me the link!

  • Post your project link to the #assignments-23 channel on our Discord server. Do not send it by email. Do not send it as a DM.

    • Attach the packaged ZIP to your message.
    • If that does not work, upload it to Google Drive and send the link.
    • If you made a blog post or added your project to GitHub, send a link to that too.

Come to class with a working project on a working computer, and be prepared to talk and answer questions about it. Time allowing, some of you will demo your projects to the class!

Thank you!
