hello boys and girls,

as i promised, here is my second small sketch.
(once again inspired by "generative gestaltung")

and like the one before, i did this to learn processing too.
in this case especially the curveVertex and the handling of agents.

you can get very different results
by changing the variables.
start with "tempstrokeWeight"
in- and decrease it in 0.5 steps an see what happens...

enjoy.
ingo




Code:

// uncomment the line below for pdf-generator (and line 32, 33 and 105)

int formResolution = 5;
int stepSize = 5;
int count = 200;
float tempstrokeWeight = 1;
float initRadius = 150;

int look02 = 200;
int look04 = 300;

float centerX, centerY;
float[] x = new float[formResolution];
float[] y = new float[formResolution];



void setup(){

  size(1200, 800);
  smooth();
