ICM midterm. Sheep and Sleep for the Insomniac.

ICM midterm F11. Sheep and Sleep for the Insomniac.
I had an idea to create a sketch that would encourage people who have trouble sleeping to get sleepy while they put this program on near their bedside. I used OpenCV for the first time, but I did not use any of the fancier tools it provides, like face/blob tracking. That will hopefully come into play later.I had a really hard time with trying to get the image file to move, but I finally got it to work, thankfully. But since I implemented the opencv, the speed at which the sheep moves is really slow, so I amped it up in the code about 700%!

Because of the file attachment and web-cam use with the OpenCV, I could not publish this on Open Processing, unfortunately. I will show it in class on my computer.

the first non-error sketch. but it didn’t work.

the second non-error sketch. it didn’t really work, either.

screenshot of the code. that didn’t really work.

finally got something to happen. this is with the OpenCV capture.

I changed the background to be more farmy.

but it was too daytimey so I made the sky darker. Success!
