Level 5

Level 5 coding studies correspond to Vitruvia concepts 20 – 23.

Reading

• Boolean Expressions – learn about Boolean values, operators, and expressions.
• Overview of Level 5 functions
• Lines – learn how to express the slope intercept form of a line in Bricklayer
• Regions and Polygons – learn how to combine inequalities with the slope intercept formula for a line to create regions and polygons.

Code Along

• Traversals – learn how to use the Bricklayer functions traverseWithin and applyWithin to create patterns.
• Basic Properties – this code-along explores how properties can be used to create basic artifacts.
• Circles – learn how to create circles.
• Slanted Triangles – learn how to use predicates, one-to-one correspondences, and traversals to create slanted triangles.
• Nesting Traversals – learn how to create patterns using nested traversals.
• Redundant Computations – learn how to use variables to eliminate (or reduce) redundant computations in expressions.
• Computational Patterns – explore how to declare functions that capture computational patterns occurring in expressions involving integer sums.

Code

• Exercises – these exercises ask you to construct a variety of artifacts using traversals and brick functions.

Special Projects

• Projection – learn how to project 2D artifacts onto 3D artifacts.
