01 Random Walker
NOC WEEK1






For the random walker assignment, I created a gradient particle water stream.



PROCESS


While I was playing around with the random walker, I noticed it resembled a starry sky, or a particle water stream. 
So my inspiration was just to use the random walker to create a particle stream.

I first placed the random walker at the top of my canvas, then gave it more probability to go downwards.


I used the randomGaussian function to give the strokes a variety of color, so it appears more like a starry night. I later use this as the brightness in the HSB color mode so when the points overlap, they appear brighter.


I then created 10 other random walkers, and added contrain so they don’t go out of the canvas.



I then changed the color mode to HSB so I could map the hue to the height of the canvas and creat a gradient taht resembles more like a water stream. 


I definitely think this skecth can be developed a bit more. At first I was a bit overwhelmed by the idea of the random walker and the vast possibility that it could be used for, but once I got the hang of it it became less intimidating.

SOLVED PROBLEMS

  • random walker probability
  • HSB color mode
