-Assignment 4 - Creative Coding: Interactive Multimedia Experiences
-===
+## Creative Project
 
-Due: October 11th, by 11:59 PM.
+Link: https://a4-nina-taurich.glitch.me/
 
-For this assignment we will focus on client-side development using popular audio/graphics/visualization technologies; the server requirements are minimal. The goal of this assignment is to refine our JavaScript knowledge while exploring the multimedia capabilities of the browser.
+### Goal:
+The goal of this project was to create an interactive 3d experience. I wanted to experiment is three.js and understand what it was capable of. In this project the user can create cubes and move around the space. When the user clicks on a cube it will expand/explode and then contract/reassemble. I used the server to make the cubes persistent when the page reloads
 
-Baseline Requirements
----
+### Challenges:
+I challenged myself to use the ShaderMaterial and create a vertex and fragment shader. The vertex shader is responsible for changing the distance each side is from the center of the cube.
 
-Your application is required to implement the following functionalities:
+The second challenge I faced was getting the cubes to only expand once every mouse click instead of repeating forever once clicked. I solved this by only animating the cubes in an array and deleting them from the array once one round was completed. 
 
-- A server created using Express. This server can be as simple as needed.
-- A client-side interactive experience using at least one of the following web technologies frameworks.
-  - [Three.js](https://threejs.org/): A library for 3D graphics / VR experiences
-  - [D3.js](https://d3js.org): A library that is primarily used for interactive data visualizations
-  - [Canvas](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API): A 2D raster drawing API included in all modern browsers
-  - [SVG](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API): A 2D vector drawing framework that enables shapes to be defined via XML.
-  - [Web Audio API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_API): An API for audio synthesis, analysis, processing, and file playback.
-- A user interface for interaction with your project, which must expose at least six parameters for user control. [dat.gui](https://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#1--Basic-Usage) is highly recommended for this. You might also explore interaction by tracking mouse movement via the `window.onmousemove` event handler in tandem with the `event.clientX` and `event.clientY` properties. Consider using the [Pointer Events API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Pointer_events) to ensure that that mouse and touch events will both be supported in your app.
-- Your application should display basic documentation for the user interface when the application first loads. This documentation should be dismissable, however, users should be able to redisplay it via either a help buton (this could, for example, be inside a dat.gui interface) or via a keyboard shortcut (commonly the question mark).
-- Your HTML and CSS should validate. There are options/plugins for most IDEs to check validation.
+### Notes:
+Clicking on the cube can be unpredictable. Sometimes you have to click several times for it to react
 
-The interactive experience should possess a reasonable level of complexity. Some examples:
-### Three.js
-- A generative algorithm creates simple agents that move through a virtual world. Your interface controls the behavior / appearance of these agents.
-- A simple 3D game
-- An 3D audio visualization of a song of your choosing. User interaction should control aspects of the visualization. 
-### Canvas
-- Implement a generative algorithm such as [Conway's Game of Life](https://bitstorm.org/gameoflife/) (or 1D cellular automata) and provide interactive controls. Note that the Game of Life has been created by 100s of people using <canvas>; we'll be checking to ensure that your implementation is not a copy of these.
-- Design a 2D audio visualizer of a song of your choosing. User interaction should control visual aspects of the experience. 
-### Web Audio API
-- Create a screen-based musical instrument using the Web Audio API. You can use projects such as [Interface.js](http://charlie-roberts.com/interface/) or [Nexus UI](https://nexus-js.github.io/ui/api/#Piano) to provide common musical interface elements, or use dat.GUI in combination with mouse/touch events (use the Pointer Events API). Your GUI should enable users to control aspects of sound synthesis.
-### D3.js
-- Create visualizations using the datasets found at [Awesome JSON Datasets](https://github.com/jdorfman/Awesome-JSON-Datasets). Experiment with providing different visualizations of the same data set, and providing users interactive control over visualization parameters and/or data filtering. Alternatively, create a single visualization with using one of the more complicated techniques shown at [d3js.org](d3js.org) and provide meaningful points of interaction for users.

-Deliverables
----
-
-Do the following to complete this assignment:
-
-1. Implement your project with the above requirements.
-3. Test your project to make sure that when someone goes to your main page on Glitch/Heroku/etc., it displays correctly.
-4. Ensure that your project has the proper naming scheme `a4-firstname-lastname` so we can find it.
-5. Fork this repository and modify the README to the specifications below. *NOTE: If you don't use Glitch for hosting (where we can see the files) then you must include all project files that you author in your repo for this assignment*.
-6. Create and submit a Pull Request to the original repo. Name the pull request using the following template: `a4-firstname-lastname`.
-
-Sample Readme (delete the above when you're ready to submit, and modify the below so with your links and descriptions)

-Include a very brief summary of your project here. Images are encouraged when needed, along with concise, high-level text. Be sure to include:
-
-- the goal of the application
-- challenges you faced in realizing the application
-- the instructions you present in the website should be clear enough to use the application, but if you feel any need to provide additional instructions please do so here.
