Interactive Vector Graphics and Animations

In this course we will provide a gentle introduction to computer science and programming through the creation of interactive vector graphics and animations using HTML5 and JavaScript, supplemented by SVG-drawing tools. Students will encounter basic elements of coding, the web, and vector geometry, first creating basic graphical elements before moving on to animation and interactivity, working toward projects ranging from educational tools to basic games. Intended for students without programming experience. (Not open to students who have successfully completed CSCI 0145.)
