This is art:
But I felt it needed more color, so I recreated it!
The time-consuming and tedious-ish part was drawing all those lines. Drawing them one by one would be suicide modern torture, so I made use of (many) many for() loops. That way, I told the program how to iterate the drawing of lines. at what interval, in which coordinates, etc. It was tricky, especially when trying to draw lines over irregular shapes: to do so, I had to use if() statements and/or constrain() to make the lines stop where needed.
Moreover, to line-fill similar areas I used nested for() loops. With two parameters, I could iterate the same line-shape in several places of the screen. Still, this didn’t solve all the issues that arise from the irregular shapes, so in the end I had to draw several lines manually (because adding more for() loops for such a small number of lines would be too much effort for little to no benefit).
So yeah. My code is a mess (I reaaally should have labeled which for() loop drew what), but hey, it works!
As a quick added bonus, I made the stroke color random (like in my flashy screens) to give the piece a trippy, retro feel my personal touch. 😀
The code is below:
void setup() {
size(600, 600);
frameRate(60);
}
void draw() {
background(0);
stroke(random(0, 255), random(0, 255), random(0, 255));
