Processing Tutorial: Creating a Grid of Arcs

📐 Creating a grid of arcs using nested for loops, conditional statements, waves, and variable type conversion.

🔄 Understanding the concept of arcs in Processing and how they differ from circles and ellipses.

🔲 Positioning the arcs appropriately within the tiles of the grid.

The sketch has a black background and red foreground colors.

The grid system is created using nested for loops.

The number of tiles on the x-axis is defined by a variable.

📝 Using for loops to create a grid of arcs.

🔢 Defining x and y positions for each tile in the grid.

🔄 Using translate function to position elements on the grid.

🔄 The video demonstrates a process for creating a grid of arcs.

✏️ By multiplying the width and height by two, the arcs can be scaled to the appropriate size.

🔁 By repeating the process and adjusting the values, multiple tiles with arcs can be created.

💡 The visual in the tutorial is controlled by a wave, but for testing purposes, random values are used instead.

💡 A selector variable is created to determine which tile should be picked based on random values.

💡 Conditional logic is used to determine which shape should be created based on the value of the selector variable.

🌐 The code creates different arcs and a rectangle based on the value of a variable called selector.

🔢 A wave is created using the sine function and the frame count.

📊 The wave value is mapped from -1 and 1 to a range of 0 and 5.

📃️ By adjusting the values in the selector, the wave can be made to go through different tiles.

🔧 To add variation, the driver of the wave is modified by multiplying the x and y values by 10.

👍 The tutorial successfully achieves the desired result of varying the tiles in each frame.
