Notes

Thing vs. event

Things are events also - duration!

Code is even more in time than a performance - Code = score of music

-The time signature in music

Machinery has memory

Computer is a clock with benefits

-Crystal oscillator in computers, microcontrollers

How to get computer to gracefully transition from different states in time, change over time

-Easing/Tweening

Different kinds of easing in and out. Sometimes sine and cosine are used in the terminology due to the shape of the curve for how it transitions

-Simulation

Physics and other tules to determine how the next frame should work for one or more objects

-Timelines

Setting up a sequence of things to happen in code, similar to musical score. Can be generated on the fly. Plan for the future in code
