In this section, we'll download everything we need for tomorrow's projects.
==ColorWall==
Line 7 ⟶ 11:
You'll be writing graphical effects for an existing ColorWall project. Download this ColorWall code and example effects so you're ready to start working with them tomorrow:
# Right click the following file, click "Save Target as..." or "Save link as...", and save it to your Desktop directory: http://mako.cc/teaching/2014/cdsw/ColorWall.zip
# The ".zip" extension on the above file indicates that it is a compressed Zip archive. We need to "extract" its contents. To do this, find ColorWall.zip on your Desktop and double-click on it. That will create a folder called ColorWall containing several files.▼
▲#The ".zip" extension on the above file indicates that it is a compressed Zip archive. We need to "extract" its contents. To do this, find ColorWall.zip on your Desktop and double-click on it. That will create a folder called ColorWall containing several files.
===Test the ColorWall code===
Start a command prompt and navigate to the Desktop/ColorWall directory where the ColorWall code lives. For example, if the ColorWall project is at <code>
▲cd /home/jesstess/Desktop/ColorWall
will change you into that directory (the "~" means your home directory!), and
ls▼
▲ls
will show you the source code files in that directory. One of the files is "run.py", which has a ".py" extension indicating that it is a Python script. Type:
python run.py▼
▲python run.py
at the command prompt to execute the run.py Python script. You should see a window pop up and start cycling through colorful effects. If you don't, let a staff member know.
Line 35 ⟶ 32:
Now type:
python run.py -a -s▼
▲python run.py -a -s
at the command prompt to execute the run.py Python script so that it runs only the advanced effects. You should see a window pop up and start cycling through different colorful effects. If you don't, let a staff member know.
Line 43 ⟶ 38:
You can also run both sets of effects by typing:
python run.py -a▼
▲python run.py -a
===Success!===
Line 59 ⟶ 52:
We've written some skeleton code for the Wordplay project already. Download this code so you're ready to start working with it tomorrow:
# Right click the following file, click "Save Target as..." or "Save link as...", and save it to your Desktop directory: http://mako.cc/teaching/2014/cdsw/Wordplay.zip
# Find Wordplay.zip on your Desktop and double-click on it to "unzip" it. That will create a folder called Wordplay containing several files.▼

===Test the Wordplay code===
Start a command prompt and navigate to the Desktop/Wordplay directory where the Wordplay code lives. For example, if the Wordplay project is at <code>/Users/
▲cd /Users/jesstess/Desktop/Wordplay
will change you into that directory, and
ls▼
▲ls
will show you the source code files in that directory. One of the files is "words1.py", which has a ".py" extension indicating that it is a Python script. Type:
python words1.py▼
▲python words1.py
at the command prompt to execute the words1.py Python script. You should see a column of English words printed to the screen. If you don't, let a staff member know.
Line 93 ⟶ 79:
We'll look at an example Python script that quizzes you on state capitals during the lecture on Saturday.
# Right click the following file, click "Save Target as..." or "Save link as...", and save it to your Desktop directory: http://mako.cc/teaching/2014/cdsw/state_capitals.py
==Success!==
