==== Class 1 ====
[[http://www.shiffman.net/teaching/the-nature-of-code/week-1/|syllabus]]

Motion, Vectors, Forces ... Processing, probability (uniform, non-uniform, normal), Perlin Noise ... **random numbers are bad ;)**

You can use the Processing core libraries in any Java project. 

Make events happen based on certain probabilities.


==== Class 2 ====

=== Perlin Noise ===
pick random numbers and interpolate between these -> amplitude -> wavelength


==== Class 3 ====
== basic animation algorithm ==
loc; \\
vel.add(acc); \\
loc.add(vel); \\

== Newton's 3 Laws ==
  - blah
  - ''F = m*a''
  - blah


=== Class 4 ===
objects talking to objecs; attraction repulsion;
