About the video: Basics of Programming 2
Overview
“We will continue to explore here the concept of function which will allow us to define our own commands. I will then show you how to draw your own patterns with this same concept.”
In this video lesson Julien Gachadoat addresses the topic: Basics of Programming 2, which is part of the Domestika online course: Intro to Creative Coding: Create Graphic Objects. Get started in creative programming and learn classic generative design algorithms to create animated words and shapes.
Partial transcription of the video
“We'll finalize this example by modifying the circle diameters with random numbers. This ensures varied outcomes every time. In this context. we'll substitute 50 with a function call to 'random'. By providing two parameters. this function will enable us to pick a random number each time it runs. ensuring a unique outcome with every execution. between a minimum and a maximum value. In this section. we'll select a minimum value of 10 and a maximum of 50. Each time Processing draws a circle. it will use a random diameter between these values. This expression here. random 10.50. will be executed...”
