Assignment 2 – AakifR

Concept:
I wanted to use the Urdu word عشق or Ishq and create a fun pattern with it while also involving some level of animation in it. I created a function that would make the word and then I called it in the draw function to repeatedly draw the word on the canvas and create a repetitive pattern. I changed how the word looks each time it is called by using random(). If you want the animation to restart, you can click your mouse.

Highlight:
Not technically too exciting, but I’m kind of proud of creating the word عشق through programming. It was a slightly tedious process and I’m also interested in learning how to streamline that process.

Sketch:

Reflection:
I really wanted each عشق to rotate around a point, but it turned out that it was harder than I thought and it’s something I still need to figure out.

let angle = 0; 

function setup() {
  
  
  createCanvas(1200, 1200);
  background(250, 141, 141);
  
  // let's draw ishq
}
  
//   function executeishq(){
    
//    for (let xchange = 0; xchange < width; xchange = xchange +30){
//     for (let ychange = 0; ychange < height ; ychange = ychange +30){
    
//     noStroke();
//     fill(random(100,105),random(10,55),random(25,55));
//     rotate(random(1,90));
      
//   drawishq(xchange + random (1, 100),ychange + random(1,100), random(1,5));
//     }
// }

// }


function drawishq(xpos,ypos, size){ //the xpos, ypos change the position of ishq on screen
