ICM - WEEK 4 - Make a trippy sketch with for loops and less lines of code

Canvas of final work at bottom

Our week 4 assignment was to create a sketch with repetitive shapes, for loops, and less code.

I built off the grid we were working with in class and added some random colors that switched between B&W and color.

I’m also not drawing a background and creating shapes based on MouseX and MouseY that changes based on how many times the user clicks.

star trails on color grid star trails on color grid

ellipse on b&w grid ellipse on b&w grid

ellipse trails on green grid ellipse trails on green grid

Then if you click enough you end up on a kind of fractal page which changes star radians based on mouseX and mouseY. I’m also randomizing the background once you reach this condition.
