StringArt - My First Processing Program
May 31st, 2010, 3:08pm  
This is just a simple little program I wrote as my first foray into Processing. The code is located at --> http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=10110

There are two major errors still to be worked out:

1. Erasure of the last line in the buffer isn't quite working. The image of the erased line is greyed out, but not completely erased.

2. When the line being erased intersects with another, more current, line it ends up erasing a portion of that line.

It's Qix! Wink

Probably the only reliable way around the two issues you point out would be to do a full clear-and-redraw of the screen each frame with a rotating buffer of line endpoints.  That's the sort of model that Processing seems to be based on.

Nice sketch, though.  Brings back those 8-bit memories.

like smitty said, the best way would be to draw all of the lines every frame.so you dont need to care how to erase them again.
In your case you just overdraw them with another white line.
If you want to keep it that way you can get better results. if you change the strokeweight.
all you need to do is.
add

strokeWeight(4);
before your second white line.

and add another  strokeWeight(1); at the beginning of linedraw()
to reset strokeweight for your other lines.
