BONUS EXERCISE

SEISMI file is your assignment due next week. March 5th for Monday, March 8th for Thursday class.

We will be using SEISMI API for this project:
SEISMI is an earthquake data visualization project which is using publicly available data provided by USGS and transforming it to a more informative, human readable and visually interesting form.

Project Website: www.seismi.org/
API Documentation: www.seismi.org/api/
SEISMI API provides earthquake data in JSON format:

What is JSON?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON

Online JSON viewer
http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/

In the .zip file that you download, you’ll find the precoded framework and necessary fonts and libraries. Please start dealing with the code, it may seem a little bit scary for now but the tough job is already done in that code, please try to enjoy and experiment, this week in class we will practice some more together. Don’t forget, the data feed is online and realtime so you should be connected to Internet while you are working.

In the MISC folder, you’ll find some miscellaneous example sketches we did in class, they are quite simple and to the point, might help you to figure out the use of some functions.
