This site represents work that I have done in support of my efforts to learn to program in the CS1 course at SUNY Oswego during the Fall 2020 semester. The materials will be temporally organized for the most part. Links to external sites that pertain to computer programming, problem solving, Java, Web development, and related matters will be placed after the personally created artifacts.

Lab 4: Expressions and Shapes World Problem Solving The first program involves arithmetic expressions. The second program involves shapes from the NPW. Expressions Thing code + Expressions Thing demo | Shapes Thing code + Shapes Thing demo |
Programming Challenge 3: Shapes World Problem Solving" In this task we used expressions and variables to compute the areas of shapes Messy Desk code + The Standard Die code + Grey and Yellow Tablecloth code + The Shipping Container
Lab 5: An Interpreter Featuring Loop Forever and Selection In this lab we are using interpreters that will recognize and respond to commands. The interpreters will display dots of various colors in a window. Interpretor 1 code + Interpretor 2 code + Interpretor 3 code + Input dialog box demo + Help message demo + Error message demo + Colored dot demo
Lab 6: Functions and Commands In this lab we are writing one program that features functions and one program that features commands. Surface Area of Cube code + Surface Area of Cube demo | Balloons code + Balloons demo | Alternate Balloons code + Alternate Balloons demo
Lab 7: String Thing The first program involves getting acquainted with some basic string processing functionality. The Second program makes you perform abstraction by introducing names(parameters) String Ops code + String Ops code demo | String Thing code + String Thing demo |
Programming Challenge 4: Nonrepresentional Artistic Expressions In this programming challenge we are asked to paint deterministic drawings in npw using private methods. Text Rectangles code + Text Rectangles demo | Rectangles of randomly colored, black framed squares code + Rectangles of randomly colored, black framed squares demo | Hirst Squares code + Hirst Squares demo | Hirst Dots code + Hirst Dots demo | Simple Dots code + Simple Dots demo | Deterministic Invention code + Deterministic Invention demo | Nondeterministic Invention code + Nondeterministic Invention demo | Stella code + Stella demo |
Lab 8: Array Play In this lab we are writing two programs that use the basics of array creating. The third program uses an array to copy a lyric file and create a file with the lyric backwards Primes + Primes demo | Streets code + Streets demo | Reverse Copy code + Song lyric + Reversed Song Lyric
Lab 9a: Simple List Processing In this lab we are writing three programs use the basic concepts and mechanisms with the ArrayList Primes + Primes demo | Streets code + Streets demo | Reverse Copy code + Song lyric + Reversed Song Lyric
Lab 10: Establishing and Using Classes This lab features two programs. The first program, Die, is a class which models a die - an object of chance that you tend to roll. The second program, Roller, creates and uses Die objects - instances of the Die class. Die code + Roller code + Roller demo |
Programming Challenge 5: Three List Interpreters In this programming challenge we were asked to write three programs that involve storage and manipulation of lists. The NumberList program of the arrayplay package + Number Set + NumberList demo | The WordList program of the arrayplay package + Word Set + WordList demo | The WordList program of the arraylistplay package + WordList demo |
Lab 11: Modeling Objects with Classes In this lab we were guided through the process of writing a class to Model a person. We created a class then created a demo to test our class. Person Specification + Person | Person Demo 1 code + Person Demo 1 | Person Demo 2 code + Person Demo 2 |
Lab 12: Grapheme to Color Synesthia This lab features a program that stimulates grapheme to color synesthia. It takes the form of an interpreter. Two parallel arrays are featured in the grapheme to color mapping. Grapheme to Color Synesthia code + Grapheme to Color Synesthia demo |
Lab 13: Chromesthesia Programs written to combine both npw and mmw using ABC notation that changes pitch according to what the user implements. Chromesthesia0 code + Chromesthesia Input box 0 + Chromesthesia0 Demo + Pitch 0 code | Chromesthesia1 code + Chromesthesia1 input box + Chromesthesia1 demo + Pitch1 code | Chromesthesia2 code + Chromesthesia2 input box + Chromesthesia 2 demo + Pitch2 code |
