Chapter Four

So I was trying to get the wave clock to work, however mine would only ripple over each other instead of turning. So I tried to add an extra for-loop and rotational translation, to make it spin, and I ended up with this funky sun/hurricane shape :)

Code:

float anglenoise, radiusnoise;

float xnoise, ynoise;

float angle = -PI/2;

float radius;

float strokeCol = 254;

float strokeChange = -1;

void setup()

{

 size(500,500);

smooth();

frameRate(30);

background(255);

noFill();

anglenoise = random(10);

radiusnoise = random(5);

xnoise = random(10);

ynoise = random(10);

}

void draw()

{

  float count =0;

 radiusnoise += 0.005;

radius = (noise(anglenoise)*200)-3;

if(angle>360)

{angle -=360;}

if(angle<0 angle="" p="">

for( float ang=0; ang<= 360; ang+=5){

xnoise += 0.01;

ynoise +=0.01;

//float centerX = width/2 + (noise(xnoise)*100)-50;

//float centerY = height/2 + (noise(ynoise)*100)-50;

float centerX = 0 + (noise(xnoise)*100)-50;

float centerY = 0 + (noise(ynoise)*100)-50;

float rad = radians(angle);

float x1 = centerX+ (radius * cos(rad));

float y1 = centerY+(radius *sin(rad));

float opprad = rad + PI;

float x2 = centerX+ (radius * cos(opprad));

float y2 = centerY+(radius *sin(opprad));

strokeCol+= strokeChange;

if(strokeCol>254){strokeChange= -1;}

if(strokeCol<0 strokechange="1;}</p">

stroke(strokeCol, 60);

strokeWeight(1);

pushMatrix();

    translate(width/2, height/2);

    rotate(radians(60+count));

    line(x1,y1,x2,y2);

    popMatrix();

count+=10;

}

}
