Complete the “build your own live coding language” activity from class. You start with the code here https://www.marksantolucito.com/COMS3430/fall2021/liveCodePitch/, and need to add one additional feature. Examples of new features are giving in the comments in the code for the example.
Make a video recording of yourself live coding. You may use any live coding language listed here:
live_audio)Other languages may be used, but check with me first.
During your performance, you must:
The performance must last at least 10 mins. An exception applies if you are using a language you built yourself - in this case, the recording must last at least 2 mins (you will need enough content to still construct an arc through your performance). The recording should include both recorded computer audio (directly from your soundcard - not a recording from your phone of your laptop speakers) and a screencast of your code as it evolves.
Note!
Live coding is an improvisatory practice, but that does not mean it is without preparation. Plan your piece ahead of time - have goals posts and/or a general sounds you will achieve throughout the piece planned out.
6 points will be awarded for uploading a video of your code, with sound recorded directly from the computer. 4 points will be awarded based on the subjective evaluation of how well your performance embodies the Live Code Manifesto. I recommend you spend at least 4 hours practicing live coding ahead of your recorded performance.
Making mistakes during your performance is okay. This is live improvisatory work - it should not be perfect. It should however communicate that you have adequately prepared.
You will submit a .zip file with at least 3 files
1) index.html for Part I 2) main.js for Part I (possibly, multiple js files if you find that helpful) 3) a video.txt file with a link to your video hosting on your favorite video publishing platform. The video does not need to be public, but I need to be able to access it.
