Jonathan Liang – Looking Outwards – 12

Two projects that I have been inspired by for my final project are Shanshui DaDA and the IOS game Battle Cats by PONOS. Many of my projects thus far this semester have involved drawing stuff onto the canvas, and Shanshui DaDA is taking that concept and putting in on steroids. This AI program allows any ordinary civilian (no matter how talented they are at drawing) to draw lines on an iPad and then it transforms their creation into a beautiful Chinese landscape painting.

Battle cats inspires me because I always wanted to try making an animated game of some sorts. After project 10 and the walking man assignment, I’ve really been interested in trying to animate some characters I created into p5js.
