My first couple weeks hashing out how I was going to finalize my code for variarions

Project Description

My project is surrounding my quote: Passion fuels purpose. It's a very simple quote but something that I reflect on everyday. Design wise when I started this molecule. I wanted to do something that wasn't too simple, maybe something a little 3D to make up for the short quote. So I made 8 quadrilaterals. All custom shapes. The first four were the big ones. Then I did the smaller ones. I would say that positioning these shapes off center was the most challenging. Of course, I could center them but I wanted to keep my quote off centered to bring more dynamic to the composition. After I finished the shapes, we were learning about GUI & randomization. To add these components into my work I did randomization for canvas size. I picked my minimum and maximum size so it would vary from those options. I added a GUI to change size as well if I wanted to manually change it if I didn't want that run of code. Previously before my last change of my code, all of it was based on the one run of code. Unless you press the run again. No loop for my code. My last GUI I added was the stroke thickness. The following week I added the "if, else" variables to my code. With these I did color change. Of course I had my regular colors picked but to make it dynamic I chose when the randomization picked a canvas size, it would correspond with a darker or lighter color of the original option. If the canvas size was bigger it would be darker. If the canvas size was small, it would be lighter. My last thing I added was the loop for changing font. I took feedback from my classmates when presenting. And learned that I could have made my 5 variations of my code stronger if I chose different fonts displayed in the prints. So I took it upon myself to do a last minute edit to have this in mind. I coded a frame rate of 1, but each time it is a new frame, it is a new canvas size, a new color and a new font.

Credits

I used chatGPT in areas I could not figure out. And I used chatGPT to help me understand what I did or didn't have in my code. Along side chatGPT, I used p5.js reference to look up tools to improve my code.
