Blog Post #2 - Spreads

In the lesson we went over spreads and how they can be used in different ways. Here are some examples:

We started with basics such as making menus and creating a sentence with the slices from the spreads.

We then progressed onto creating visuals from spreads.

Then we learnt to use Linear Spreads to create a row of squares easily and using colour.

We then did the same with Circular Spreads.

The follow up tasks were quite difficult for this task. They were more complicated, using translations more in combination with Random nodes.

This patch shows a Linear Spread with the ability to make a random square get separated from the rest of them. This was hard to achieve to begin with as it was complicated with a lot of testing needed.

The final task for the follow-up was very hard for me to do.

The first part was simple as it was simply using SetSlice to grab the data from one slice. 

The second part took me a while to complete. It was using the same ideas as switches from what we had learnt before and applying them with what we learnt this week. I eventually got the a completed patch where the press of a button would increase the size of the circle.
