Did you ever hope making things come alive would be as simple as merely drawing them on a piece of paper? Did you ever wonder what would happen if your drawings did come alive? Wonder no longer, this wonderful bit of video (sent to me by Edith Ackermann at the MIT, thanks again Edith for making my day!) shows you just how that can happen. Don’t be dissuaded by guy with moustache in the beginning, just watch what he does… it’s magic! I want one!
…that’s not programming.
Why not? I remember starting out over 20 years ago writing some really simple programs in Basic on my Commodore 64 which were about moving some boxes on the screen.. (ok I was 10 so cut me some slack
) i.e this is what box looks like, this is where it is on the screen, then move it here… type run and goto 10 to make it do the same thing all over again.. This surely is a lot more fun way to do the same thing..? No..?
