Draw a named constellation. Real or invented. The stars are
different brightnesses, the lines join the ones that belong
together, and the name is on the screen.
Write your requirements list before you write any code.This set also asks you to name the table and the function before you start — what is in the table, and what your function takes and does.
Notes
The hardest one in this set and the closest to the creative artifact.
Two parallel tables for the positions, at least. A third for brightness or size.
The lines are the interesting part: a line joins star i to star i + 1, which means a loop that stops one early. Work out why before you write it.
A function that draws one star, taking position and brightness, is what makes the whole thing readable. Write it first.
love.graphics.line takes four numbers: two points. Nothing else on this page is new.
What Success Looks Like
Every star is drawn by one function, called in a loop
The lines connect the right stars and there is no line off the end
Stars differ visibly, from data rather than from separate code
Moving the whole constellation is a small change, not a rewrite
Add a star to the tables and run it. A new star and a new line should both appear with no other edit.
