This assignment was non less than an endeavor in its own. All I had in mind was circles when I started. I thought of them as colliding an getting bigger or something like that. The hardest part was to come up with something which uses loops. Not from the coding end but from the creative one. The it suddenly hit me; draw in itself if a big while TRUE loop. Honestly I still didn’t know what to do about it, but at least I had starting point.
I wanted to add an interactive side to it as well, so the first thing I did was created pointer for the pointer, so that it has visible interactions. I borrowed the monitor frame from my self portrait to add somewhat character to the framing.
The moment I had two circles bouncing off each other. I noticed the the repeating motion. To observe it in detail I wanted to add the trail into it. I had some what trouble doing that because of the monitor underneath, the trail was hidden under it. I asked chatgpt about it. It made me realize that I don;t want my monitor to be draw again and again. So I just put it up in the setup. no I could see their movement.
The most interesting part about it was they never collided if left undisturbed. Because of the movement variables I set. But if it is disturbed by the mouse the kinda stuck in the loop. This discovery is what I am most proud of, I am not sure which part of the code represents it. It randomly reminded me of how it is necessary to go off road to meet people or places that quite possible create the biggest impact in our lives.
I used the https://p5js.org/reference/p5/text/ to write the text. It represents a vague idea I conclude from above about living
lastly the part of code I think is highlight is as follows
x += 1
if (x % 220 == 0){
c1 = random(0,255)
c2 = random(0,255)
c3 = random(0,255)
fill(c1,c2,c3)
}
I like this because this where I manipulated the draw loop code to change the circle colors
The Sketch
What I can add to this is. I feel like this is very sketchy. To represent the, I would want to make more calm and smooth
