Hello all,
This is one of my first sketches in processing:
http://mmas.unca.edu:16080/~djratlif/processing/strings/applet/I was wondering if people could give me feedback as far as code (and whatever you wish, as long as you might give me some insight as how to do it!)
Since I am fairly new to programing I probablly have redudencies and/or things I could be doing better (maybe speed up processing time).
My code is on the page but I will post it here as well
Code:
//Trig Strings : By Drew Ratliff
//trig stuff
float angle = 0.0;
float speed = .05;
//radius
float range = 300;
Wave myWave;
void setup() {
size (750,300);
}
void draw () {
//set background, make random same, translate to middle
background(0);
randomSeed(6);
pushMatrix();
translate(0,height/2);
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
//set random blue stroke to strings
stroke(random(255),random(255),random(200,255),random(100,200));
//make wave with random x pos for bezier curves
myWave = new Wave(int(random(width)),int(random(width)));
myWave.display();
}
angle += speed;
popMatrix();
}
class Wave {
float b1x;
float b1y;
float b2x;
float b2y;
float sinval;
float cosval;
Wave(float x1, float x2) {
b1x = x1;
b2x = x2;
}
void display() {
//Trig Math for motion
sinval = sin(random(angle));
cosval = cos(random(angle));
float b1y = (sinval * range);
float b2y = (cosval * range);
//draw string
noFill();
beginShape();
vertex(0,0);
bezierVertex(b1x,b1y,b2x,b2y,width,0);
endShape();
}
}
thankksss
