Processing Community Day Community Clouds made in p5js
I attended Processing Community Day in October 2017 (https://day.processing.org/). Dan Shiffman gave a Coding Train talk and demonstrating making a cloud generating function. Some attendees worked along with him in real time. Dan asked for new cloud generating schemes to be submitted here: https://github.com/CodingTrain/CommunityClouds/
My version is in this repository. It places circles around the perimeter of a larger ellipse. Circle radius varies by position on the ellipse. Then it draws the ellipse over top of the circles, essentially "erasing" the inner halve of them. It's a bit ham-fisted right now and I'd like to make it smoother. TBD.
The complete sketch allows the cloud to "move" (grow) when the mouse button is held in. The function file just draws the basic cloud.
