A farmer has to cross the river with one goat, one cabbage and one wolf. Unfortunately the boat has only one more seat. If he leaves the goat alone with the cabbage, the cabbage gets eaten by the goat. If he leaves the wolf alone with the goat, the goat gets eaten by the wolf. What should he do? Please help the farmer to get all three safe to the other side!

Project 1: wallpaper

Go together in pairs.First, secretely, make a simple drawing on one paper. Then write drawing instructions on another paper. Hand the instructions over to your partner, but keep the drawing secret. Once your partner has finished, compare both drawings and discuss the results.

Your first code

Will also be on paper.Follow the examples.Then write your own algorithm and repetition and draw it first on paper and later in the studio in processing.

Your second code

Finally on the computer.Use the pattern_maker code (if you want).And use the processing reference.

Make the most beautiful, the most interesting, the fanciest and a clearly defined processing sketch.

Your third code

Have fun!
