PImage img; int min = 40, max = 80; int r = 10; void setup() { img = loadImage("https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/2c/f6/a5/2cf6a58f75b368949cf98db03b925f1b.jpg"); size(img.width, img.height); image(img,0,0); } void draw() { int w = (int)random(min, max); int h = int(w*3); int x = (int)random(0, width-w); int y = (int)random(0, height-h); PImage tmp = createImage(w, h, RGB); tmp.loadPixels(); float rd = […] Read more – ‘Bonus: Glitch’.
Outputting an animation as video takes two steps saving frames of the animation as separate image files compiling the sequence of images into a movie using MovieMaker tool int frames = 200, num=20; float theta; void setup() { size(750, 750); } void draw() { background(20); fill(255, 30); stroke(255, 50); translate(width/2, height/2); for (int i=0; i […] Read more – ‘Exercise 40’.
Now let’s add noise instead of randomizing. the new point will have some reference to the point before it. size(500, 100); background(255); strokeWeight(5); smooth(); stroke(0, 30); line(20, 50, 480, 50); stroke(20, 50, 70); int step = 10; float lastx = -999; float lasty = -999; float ynoise = random(10); float y; for (int x=20; x […] Read more – ‘Exercise 35’.
Instead of just telling Processing to draw a circle, let’s instead create a circle object. The circle object will encapsulate everything there is to know about itself, which at the moment isn’t much more than the x,y of its center point, and its radius. class Circle { float x, y; float radius; color linecol, fillcol; […] Read more – ‘Exercise 32’.
Let’s start simple. The following listing creates a script that draws a handful of randomly placed circles every time the mouse is clicked. int _num = 10; void setup() { size(500, 300); background(255); smooth(); strokeWeight(1); fill(150, 50); drawCircles(); } void draw() { } void mouseReleased() { drawCircles(); } void drawCircles() { for (int i=0; i<_num; […] Read more – ‘Exercise 31’.
Let’s replace our while loop with a For Loop to see how it works int ellipseSize = 40; void setup() { size(800, 800); smooth(); } void draw() { noFill(); strokeWeight(.5); stroke(255); for (int i=0; i <100; i ++) { for (int j=0; j <100; j ++) { ellipse(i * (ellipseSize/2), j * (ellipseSize/2), ellipseSize, ellipseSize); […] Read more – ‘Exercise 30’.
now let’s improve our grid sketch by overlapping the circles and giving them a random transparency size(400, 400); noStroke(); background(255); float x = 0; while (x < width) { float y = 0; while (y 98) { fill(255, 0, 0, random(50)); } else { // but usually pick a random gray color fill(random(100, 200), random(50)); […] Read more – ‘Exercise 29’.
Now let’s change our rectangle to a circle and adjust the spacing size(400, 400); noStroke(); background(255); float x = 0; while (x < width) { float y = 0; while (y 98) { fill(255, 0, 0); } else { // but usually pick a random gray color fill(random(100, 200)); } ellipse(x+20, y+20, 40, 40); y […] Read more – ‘Exercise 28’.
Adding a small probability of a red square to our grid size(400, 400); noStroke(); background(255); float x = 0; while (x < width) { float y = 0; while (y 98) { fill(255, 0, 0); } else { // but usually pick a random gray color fill(random(100, 200)); } rect(x, y, 38, 38); y = […] Read more – ‘Exercise 27’.
now let’s nest a while loop inside another while loop to give us a grid size(400, 400); noStroke(); background(50); float x = 0; while (x < width) { float y = 0; while (y < height) { rect(x, y, 30, 30); y = y + 40; } x = x + 50; } Read more – ‘Exercise 25’.
Now let’s rotate but change the center point of our rotation. We do that using the translate() function. float r = 0; void setup() { size(400,400); background(10); smooth(); noStroke(); } void draw() { translate(width/2, height/2); fill(255); rotate(r); float circle_size = random(5, 15); ellipse(100 + r, 10, circle_size, circle_size); r = r + 0.2; println(r); } Read more – ‘Exercise 24’.
Continuing our experiments with rotation Think of the rotate() function like sticking a pin into the top left (0,0) corner of our piece of paper (our canvas) and turning the paper around the pin axis. float r = 0; void setup() { size(400,400); background(10); smooth(); noStroke(); } void draw() { fill(255); rotate(r); float circle_size = […] Read more – ‘Exercise 23’.
drawing circles with a While loop try changing the increment that i is increased by. size(400, 400); colorMode(HSB); // choose a random background color using Hue, Saturation and Brightness background(random(255), random(50, 100), random(50, 100)); noFill(); stroke(255, 100); float i = 0; while (i < 100) { ellipse(100 + i*2, 100 + i*2, 100+i, 100-i*2); // […] Read more – ‘Exercise 21’.
Improving on our bar code generator float x = 0; void setup() { size(400, 400); background(255); stroke(255); } void change_line_color() { stroke(255, 0, 0); line(x, 100, x, 200); // now we decide if to use black or white if (random(100) > 50) { stroke(0); } else { stroke(255); } } void draw() { // draw […] Read more – ‘Exercise 17’.
Random Bar Code Generator float x = 0; void setup() { size(400, 400); background(255); stroke(255); } void draw() { line(x, 200, x, 100); x = x + 1; if (x > width) { x = 0; } // sometimes we decide to change the line color if (random(100) > 70) { // now we decide […] Read more – ‘Exercise 16’.
// white lines on black background // the lines begin on the top border and end on the bottom border // the lines must be vertical. void draw() { background(0); stroke(255); float distance_left = random(100); line(distance_left,0, distance_left,99); } Read more – ‘Exercise 08’.

For the first sketch: “A black outlined square with a red horizontal line from the midpoint of the left side toward the middle of the right side.” For the second sketch: “A black outlined square with a red diagonal line from the lower left corner toward the upper right corner; and another red line from […] Read more – ‘Coordinate System Quiz’.
void setup() { background(0); // this makes the background black } void draw() { stroke(0, random(255), 0); // R, G, B // the screen is 100 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall // lines start at the middle of the screen (50, 50) line(50, 50, random(100), random(100) ); } Read more – ‘Exercise 04’.
