100x100 Computational Design Challenge

Throughout 2020 I created 100 computational designs in 100 days as a way to learn creative coding and explore generative art

Day 2 - Tornado

This sketch is my first step towards automating the drawing of a tornado - or a worm, depending on your perspective. Tornado worm? Still a pretty manual process but playing a bit with colour and scale, using the cursor position on the canvas to impact those values as the mouse moves.

Code:

function setup() {
  createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);
  background(250);
}

function draw() {
  fill(mouseY/3, 100, 100);
  strokeWeight(0.5)
  ellipse(mouseX, mouseY, mouseX/2, mouseX/2)
}
