삼각함수를 활용한 크리에이티브 코딩 웹 어플리케이션 개발

Abstract

Designers use a computer with GUI-based software, but there has been a stream of movement to utilize a computer beyond software. The spread of coding education has increased the demand for creative coding, as well. In a coding process, mathematical algorithms are used to express the movements of nature-based on physics. A trigonometric function is one of the most popular algorithms for that purpose. Designers, however, have a difficult time understanding materials focused on mathematical aspects too much. They need an approach to understand the characteristics of a mathematical algorithm and have easy access to one. Against this backdrop, this study aimed to develop a creative coding web application based on a trigonometric function so that designers could understand it with ease. For that purpose, the investigator analyzed the cases of web animation coding algorithm web applications that were the most familiar to designers and set the screen and menu composition of the developed creative coding web application(CCWA). Also analyzed in the study were 200 creative coding works to figure out the patterns of designers using a trigonometric function. The analysis results were used to organize a menu to allow designers to recognize the utilization patterns of a trigonometric function and choose one that wanted. In Short, the creative coding web application developed in the study is based on a trigonometric function and characterized by supports for open-source coding and intuitive GUI. Using this application, designers will be able to apply a trigonometric function to their coding easily with the intuitive GUI and the menu organized around their needs.
