Learning the Basics

Tutorial Number 2:

At the tutorial we got straight into learning the basics: lines, ellipses (circles), rectangles plus how to set up your sketches with size, background/line color etc. 

Although these are the absolute basics in coding it still took me a while to get my head around the way they had to be set out and what the numbers and symbols actually MEAN rather than just copying it all in. 
Once I got the idea of the sketch canvas just being a grid with the top left corner being 0,0 and the bottom right being 500,500 (in this particular case) it all became a lot easier. 


Above, a screen shot of my first attempt at coding using only basic shapes. Obviously very simple but was a good way of getting to grip with how all the plotting and format works.
