The Mr. Tomato Head Project
{4/13/03} I have created my personal web page. This is where I intend to post my weekly reports concerning the work I have personally done.
{4/16/03} I have created a preliminary Mr. Tomato head by using the simplest draw skeleton and filling in my own graphics where the rectangle was.
{4/23/03} I have created a secondary Mr. Tomato head still using the simplest draw skeleton and filling in my own tomato graphics where the rectangle was. Also available in a smaller scaled down screen shot here. I have also included the code in a text file here
{5/13/03} I am still working with the Tomato object code. I have combined the separate x's and y's into Point objects making rotation simpler to implement. I will be uploading my changes soon but I moved last week and am without an internet connection at home. This makes up keeping my personal webpage a chore rather than the simple task it used to be. I am told I will have internet sometime this week though so more updates should be here soon.
{5/22/03} I have finished the Tomato Object code. On top of combining the x's an y's into point objects I have totally changed the make up of the tomato. The tomato is now constructed out of a general path consisting of bezier curves. The leaf is still a polygon though. This made implementing the rotation code much simpler than it had been with circles and arcs. This is a screenshot of the new tomato and this is a screenshot of the new tomato after being rotated 90 degrees. The code can be found here. We have plans of making more master objects to go on top of the tomato, hence the Mr. Tomato head motif. I'll post more as soon as I have it.
{5/29/03} I have been experimenting with new master objects. I have created a Knife object and a Googley Eye Object. I gained my inspiration from a flash cartoon on www.homestarrunner.com . The Master Objects are now running on Kris's and John's Application instead of Professor Futrelle's SimplestDraw frame. I have included the Screen shots here and here they are rather large but they show the tomato body, googley eyes and knife in various positions. The code for the googley eyes can be found here and the knife code is here.
