Include the description of the idea, a link to a picture or attach a picture of a paper or whiteboard sketch you've done. If you have a learning outcome in mind, add that too.\r\n\r\nWhat makes a good idea? Our current guess is:\r\n\r\n1. Short and sweet\r\n * It should take between 5 and 15 mininutes\r\n2. Doable\r\n * While a 3D rendering of [Gaudi's Sagrada Família](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_Fam%C3%ADlia) might be cool we need to consider what's possible with a limited subset of P5.js functions i.e., basic shapes like rectangles, squares, circles, ellipses, triangles, arcs, lines\r\n3. Relatable\r\n * Our hypothesis is that if a student can relate to an object they are drawing then they will likely be more engaged"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/benjiallen/coderdojochi-js/issues/comments/186041135","html_url":"https://github.com/benjiallen/coderdojochi-js/issues/5#issuecomment-186041135","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/benjiallen/coderdojochi-js/issues/5","id":186041135,"user":{"login":"dlarosa","id":1476469,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1476469?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dlarosa","html_url":"https://github.com/dlarosa","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dlarosa/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dlarosa/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dlarosa/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dlarosa/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dlarosa/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dlarosa/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dlarosa/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dlarosa/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dlarosa/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-19T03:57:40Z","updated_at":"2016-02-19T03:57:40Z","body":"Minecraft is something most students can relate to. Creating a 2D version of a Minecraft character is something that can easily be done with P5.js.\r\n\r\nIn this [example](http://jsfiddle.net/nicksuch/9yfwx18c/), a \"Creeper\" is created with just a few lines of code. I personally like the fact that there is a function for each body part what makes it easier to follow if we are building the image step by step during the class. \r\n\r\nIt does not have to be a Minecraft character, it could also be something famous like a Ninja Turtle or someone from a Disney movie (Toy Story maybe?) but the idea would remain the same: to build a character part by part."}}
