Exercise B_week 1

This exercise will seek to examine the essence of Hornbake Plaza, specifically its transitory nature. As the video was shot on a cold day, rather than in the spring when the space is used as a gathering spot, almost all of the activity within the space was movement, both pedestrian through, and car along side. The final video will break Hornbake Plaza down into smaller sub-spaces, looking at how different occupants and activities within the plaza as a whole creates these divisions, and how each individual sub-space can be defined by its activities

little help

carl,

im trying to insert an image as the background.  I was able to do it with a color, however the color covered all of the squares and the block that you drag to manipulate “t”.  can you see if I am scripting this right for an image?  The image is one of abi’s textures from the first assignment.

int num;

  textFont(fontA, 12);

    handles[i] = new Handle(0, 475+i*15, 50-hsize/2, 15, handles);
    tpixels= 50-hsize/2;
    t=tpixels/4;
