Experiments with Processing - with the eventual goal to design a cover for my PhD thesis with some neat generative art 🤓🎨

prosthesis's Issues

Create and draw a grid of cells

Draw a complex landscape on a grid

Learn some Processing basics

AFAICS, Processing (/Java?) syntax look a lot like C++, though there seem to be some endemic things I seldom understand atm, e.g. how an array is defined and accessed.

Maybe start here?

Draw a painted grid

Depends on

• #2

Give colours to some of the cells

Read the Arrays tutorial

https://processing.org/tutorials/arrays

Draw a hilly landscape on a grid

Depends on:

• #3

Must check:

• A landscape contains cells with different heights.
• Cells are coloured by height.
• Heights in a hilly landscape are non-random, with some peaks (for now, single cells) and decreasing heights around them.

these three points should probably have dedicated issues.
