Noise

At some point, I stumbled upon the gorgeous animations created by Bleuje. According to the FAQ on the website, the animations were created in Processing, so I was inspired to try it out.

Noise is the third idea I tried (and the first one I thought looked kinda cool).

It was a fun little project and it made me appreciate Bleuje’s work even more.

Below is the code for Noise.

int spacer;
int line_length = 50;
int n_cols = 100;

void setup() {
  size(1024, 1024);

  spacer = width / n_cols;
  strokeWeight(1);
  stroke(255,255,255,90);
  noLoop();  // Run once and stop
}

void draw() {
  background(0);

  for (int y = spacer/2; y < height; y += spacer) {
    for (int x = spacer/2; x < width; x += spacer) {
      float angle = random(PI);

      line(
        x - line_length*cos(angle), 
        y - line_length*sin(angle), 
        x + line_length*cos(angle), 
        y + line_length*sin(angle)
      );
    }
  }
  
  save("noise.png");
}
