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 70 - Clam Trails

It’s been an entire week of trying to do one thing and ending up with another. Today’s no different, as I set out to attempt to draw tree rings, and ended up instead with pussy pointillism. Which like, I’m kind of okay with. I’m definitely finding I prefer weeks with a specific goal or theme, and have a few ideas for next week. Speaking of, only six more weeks left of the challenge!

Drawings:

Code:

i = 0;
rad = 0;
xoff = 0;

function setup() {
  createCanvas(700, 700);
  background(240);
  strokeWeight(1);
}

function draw() {

  translate(width / 2, height / 2);
  xoff = xoff + 0.01;
  n = noise(xoff) * 2;

  var radius = rad;
  var angle = TAU / 100;
  var x = cos(angle * i) * radius;
  var y = sin(angle * i) * radius;
  i = i + 0.5;
  point(x, y * n);

  if (x == rad) {
    rad = rad + 2;
  }
}
