Create a sequence of shaded papers using the Repeat command as a short animation of brightness. For example
Repeat a 0 100
{
Paper a
}
 
Part 3

Part 6
p6.dbn 
pen 100
repeat a 0 20
{
   paper a
   line a 0 a 100
}
set a 20
repeat b 0 5
{
   set b b
   paper 20
   line (a+b) 0 (a+b) 100
}
repeat c 21 50
{
   line (c+5) 0 (c+5) 100
   paper c
   line (c+5) 0 (c+5) 100
   paper c
}
pen 10
repeat d 0 4
{
   line (d+55) 0 (d+55) 100
   paper 50
}
repeat e 51 76
{
   line (e+8) 0 (e+8) 100
   paper (e + 2)
   line (e+8) 0 (e+8) 100
   paper (e + 2)
}
paper 100
repeat f 0 33
{
   set f f
paper 100
   line (f*3) 0 (f*3) 100
}
pen 100
repeat w 0 5
{
paper 0
line 0 0 100 100
paper 100
paper 0 
line 100 0 0 100
}

Add a single line to the sequence, and let it fly in time. For instance
Repeat a 0 100
{
Paper 0
Line a 0 a 100
}
 
Part 7
p7.dbn 
paper 10
pen 100
repeat a 0 100
{
   line a 0 0 a
   line 0 (100-a) a 100
   line (100-a) 100 100 (100-a)
   line (100-a) 0 100 a
   paper 10
}
repeat b 0 100
{
   line b 100 100 b
   line b 0 100 (100-b)
   line 0 (100-b) (100-b) 0
   line 0 b (100-b) 100
   paper 10
}

Add another line and let two lines fly in contrasting styles.
 
Part 8
p8.dbn 
paper 75
pen 0
repeat a 0 100
{
   set b (a+15)
   line 0 (100-a) a 100
   line 0 (100-b) b 100
   paper 75
}
repeat c 0 100
{
   set d (c+15)
   line c 0 100 (100-c)
   line d 0 100 (100-d)
   paper 75
}

Let two lines fly in cooperative styles.
 
Part 9
p9.dbn 
// lauren's line
//paper 30
//pen 0
//line 7 7 93 50
//
//
//Lauren's line is a white line on light
//gray background.  It fills most of the 
//the bottom half, at an approximate 
//angle of 25 degrees.  It does not quite 
//start or finish at the ends of the paper.
//It is well chosen because its 
//characteristics are quite unique.
//I however, would prefer a greater
//magnitude so the line would go closer to 
//the edges of the page, still keeping its
//distance though.
paper 30
pen 0
line 2 2 97 50

Using Part 1 of Problem Set 1, you are asked to comment and improve on a colleague's work. The person you will choose is determined by your order in the pulldown menu of the main page. For example, Ben should comment on Bruce, Bruce on Nick, and all the way down to Hoeteck commenting on Ben (wrapped around). We don't have a form mechanism setup, so for now just put it inside your DBN buffer as a comment, and include a modified version of your colleague's program that reflects your suggestions.
 
Part 10
p10.dbn 
//This piece was one of my favorite in
//the class. She utilizes the shading
//to complement her increasingly
//smaller square design.
//This creates a very complex, yet simple
//design; it represents a simple image
//magnified, creating a complex object.
//The three dimensional image is
//quite visible to the viewer.
//
//It would be more three dimension I think
//if the shading was darker.
//(I change the pen color througout the
//program)
//
//
//
// lauren's object
paper 50
// bottom half
repeat x 0 50
{
  repeat v 0 50
  {
    pen (x+11)
    line (v+50) x 100 x
}
}
// tophalf
repeat y 0  50
{
  repeat z 0 50
  {
    pen (y+11) 
    line 0 (100-y) z (100-y)
  }
}
// squares
repeat b 15 25
{
  set a (b*2)
  pen (a+10)
  line a a (100-a) a
  line (100-a) a (100-a) (100-a)
  line (100-a) (100-a) a (100-a)
  line a (100-a) a a
}
repeat d 15 25
{
  set c (d*4)
  pen ((d-15)*15)
  line c c (100-c) c
  line (100-c) c (100-c) (100-c)
  line (100-c) (100-c) c (100-c)
  line c (100-c) c c
}

Do the same as above for Part 10 of Problem Set 1.
