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 68 - Polar Bears

Well, things are going off the rails as we get close to 3/4 of the way through the challenge. Today’s sketch is a little silly, but I liked the shape I ended up with and thought it looked a bit like a nose (or a rocket ship? I don’t know!). Added some eyes and had a polar bear! I am a very professional and artistic adult human.

Drawings:

Code:

i = 0;
y1 = -50;

function setup() {
  createCanvas(800, 800);
  background(255);
  fill(0);
  ellipse(250, 250, 30, 40);
  ellipse(550, 250, 30, 40);
  noFill();
}

function draw() {

  translate(width / 2, height / 2);

  if (y1 < 170) {
    stroke(0, 100);
    strokeWeight(random(3))
    var radius = random(500);
    var angle = TAU / 200;
    var x = sin(angle * i) * radius / 2;
    var y = cos(angle * i) * radius;
    i = i + 0.3;
    ellipse(0, y1, x, y);
    y1 = y1 + 1;
  }
}
