Exam Notes

I'm worried that my polygon procedures are drawing polygons at the top-left corner of the image, rather than at the center.

Your procedures should draw the polygons wherever the turtle is. If the turtle starts in the top-left corner, then you should draw the polygon there.

Forming groups

• Ideally, you'll find a mix of skills - at least one person with design skills, one with coding skills, and one with "management" skills to keep the group together. I may ask you to self-identify.
• Identify people with whom you would like to work. If you need help finding a group, let me know.

Making compelling images

• See yesterday's notes.

Free time

• Look at sample images.
• Play with MIST, if you desire.
• Do the lab.
• Ask me and the mentors questions.
