What did you learn during this Hour of Code?

Only you can answer this question!

But we hope that you learned that coding is creative and fun, and that JavaScript is a great way to create art online with your friends.

How would you explain creative coding to a friend?

The short answer, is that creative code is when coding is used to make something expressive instead of something functional. For example, a video or a light sculpture, or a song.

You could show your friend some of the Vidcodes you made, and explain how your code is affecting your video. Points out the values, or numbers and colors, in your code.

What is an object in JavaScript?

In effects.noise.amount = 15; effects is an object.

An object is a sort of container for information in JavaScript.

In real life, a phone is an object.

A phone has properties like type and color, and methods like call and text.

What is a property? How does it relate to an object?

A property lives inside an object, and changes information about it.

In effects.noise.amount = 15; both noise and amount are properties.

How did you use objects and properties to change your videos today?

The objects and properties, like effects and noise, are part of a JavaScript library that's using code to change a canvas, which is the HTML5 element where your video is playing.

As you go through more Vidcode lessons, you'll learn about other JavaScript elements, like arrays and variables, that can change your video as well.
