Director Stuff

Here are the shockwave movies I've done so far.
Now I finally have Director I can start to learn it.
These represent some of the artic
les for the first level assessment for 'Creative Software'.

1. With the Colours tutorial,, the brief was to produce a demonstration of colour relationships using Director. As you press the buttons on the right of the sample, a text box appears over the particular relationship as an example.

2. With the lists tutorial the idea was to modify Andy's original and make a series of interactive buttons within one line of code for elegant scripting using one frame of the score.

3. The Petting Zoo example was again a modification of Andy's script with the addition of a few simple score animations and changes to the sprite's property lists and values.

4. The Bee Tutorial is the one covered in the Director manual. I customised the script with the addition of handlers and behaviors to the Bee which were customised a little bit from the Director behaviors library. The Bee turns towards the mouse, can be picked up and is scalable if you hold down the space bar.

5. With the Blobs tutorial I was trying to make the 'artificial life' look and act like bacteria under a microscope. I altered Andy's script with the inclusion of a random blend property and a rotation property. The sprites have been changed in terms of colour, size and 'lazyness' in order to look more like bacteria growing in a lab petri dish. I'm looking for that translucent effect that microscopic pictures of germs have. The script in the Director file has been commented out where I have made these changes.
