[x] Read through sections 2.9 (Gravitational Attraction) in chapter two of our textbook and then watch Daniel Shiffman’s 16 minute Gravitational Attraction video.
[x] Using the code provided in the textbook/video create the same sketch developed in the chapter/video where a single attractor interacts with several mover objects.
[x] Spend some time playing around with your coder and thinking about where you’d like to take this sketch. This is an opportunity for an interactive portfolio piece! Some possible directions:

· A solar system simulation. (Might be tricky to stabilize the system!) · A world of attractors and “repellers” as seen in this video.

· A dynamic painting algorithm where movers draw their gravitational motion in various colours to the canvas. · An investigation or “explorable explanation” of the three-body problem.

· Develop an idea of your own.
[x] Write a short plan for where you’d like to take this sketch including:
- [x] · The idea you developed in the previous section.
- [x] · The learning goal for your sketch. (i.e. What you hope to learn by working through this assignment.)
- [x] · The additions and/or modifications required in the Mover class.
- [x] · The additions and/or modifications required in the sketch at large.
[x] Get to work implementing the plan you devised in the previous section. You may need to pare down your idea and hence your ambitions as you go. An elegantly simple and complete sketch is better than a complex incomplete one.

Submission

Be sure to submit two sketches:

[x] · Your sketch as it existed after you completed the “Follow Along” section.
[x] · Your fully expanded sketch completed after carrying out the plan you developed.

Requirements

Follow Along

[x] · You need to submit a version of your code after the “Follow Along” section. · Your sketch should function like the version shown 14m53s in the nature of code video.

Dreams and Plans

[x] · You’ve submitted your planning document for your elaboration on the gravitation attraction sketch.
[x] · Your plan includes all the point form points listed in the “Plan Your Next Move” section.
[x] · Your plan is short, clear, and well scoped. It is free of grammar and spelling errors.

Implementation

[x] · Your sketch runs without error.
[x] · Your sketch includes the features detailed in your original plan.
[x] · Your sketch is polished to the point where it could be used as a portfolio piece while search for employment.

Coding Conventions

[x] · All code is nicely formatted and is easy to read.
[x] · All nested code is indented using exactly 2 spaces.
[x] · All variables are named descriptively using camel case.
[x] · Complicated portions of your code are accompanied by comments that provide context and explanations.

Dreams and Plans

Task Needed Done: Create an interactive sketch that will simulate gravitational/magnetic forces.

Dreams (some ideas that are good to implement):

Untitled

Duet-like game made in p5.js
- Trailer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Tq4t0gx49g&t=63s
Create a Rube Goldberg simulation out of magnets.
- Inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfXZ5UgosiA&t=26s
Magnetic Pinball simulation
Create a sketch with objects magnetically attracted to the mouse. This way, the magnetic side of the object is always attracted to the mouse location.

Plans (how to implement the idea that I have chosen):

My Idea: To create a sketch that will have the objects point to the direction of my mouse (attraction)

Learning Goal: To implement the proper coding structure that I have learned in the previous lessons as well as to implement a force similar to gravitational forces (instead of gravity, it would be magnetic which is a similar concept)

Additions/Modifications (in the mover class and the sketch): Instead of having an attractor, I have made it to become the mouse itself. As for the movers, I have assigned it as sticks to demonstrate how the objects are magnetically attracted to the mouse (it will always point out to the direction of the mouse and the attraction is greater the closer the mouse is to the stick).

Notes: I have decided to stick with something simple because of the crunch week but originally I wanted to do the duet-like game in p5.js but I realized that it might not be used with gravitational/magnetic force but that idea inspired me to pursue doing a magnetic force sketch instead of a gravitational force sketch.
