I really wanted to get this Sol LeWitt grid down this week. It was killing me. I knew it involved nested loops and some form of multiplication…but I couldn’t figure out when I need nested for loops and exactly where they should go in my code. Would I need them every time I had a for loop in relation to my array?<\/p>\n
Played around with the some of the new code we learned in class for creating new objects in arrays – but then I realized I didn’t want to create new objects within the sketch in that way…I just wanted it to repeat them very specifically.<\/p>\n
I brought what I had to Shiffman and he let me know that I was on the right track. Mentioned two ways – creating a 2D array<\/> (two arrays multiplied together, like a matrix!) or creating a really long array and using math to specify the location of an element (like with <\/a> pixels!<\/a>. <\/a><\/p>\n Went with the first option and ended up with this code:<\/p>\n
