Inspiration: The issue of climate change and rising sea level has inspired our team to create the animation that shows the consequences of contaminating the ocean with our trash.
What it does: The animation simulates the issue of pollution by showing the amount of trash increases through time while the marine population decreases.
How we built it: We built the project using a starter kit on bit.ly and used the openprocessing coding app do the coding using the Javascript language.
Challenges we ran into: Since no one in our group has experience with Javascript, we had difficulties understanding the syntax. Additionally, since we are using OpenProcessing coding app, we had difficulties sharing our code live. Therefore, when we change our code, we have to save and share our code with each other, so we spent a lot of time on that than we would have wished for.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: Despite being unfamiliar with Javascript, we were able to have the simulation running. Additionally, away from the starting kit, we were able to add additional features to our simulation and have the animation fit more with our idea.
What we learned
After completing this project, we learned how to program with JavaScript, the importance of communication, coordination and organization. We also learned not to overcomplicate things and that it is ok to not have all of our ideas come to fruition.
