This code is written in the Processing language and generates a grid of rectangles with random sizes and randomized black or white colors that refreshes once per second. Here's what it does step by step:
-
Setup (
setup()
function):- The canvas size is set to
400x400
pixels. - The initial background color is set to white (
255
). - The stroke color for shapes is set to black (
0
). - The frame rate is set to
1
, meaning thedraw()
function will execute once per second.
- The canvas size is set to
-
Drawing (
draw()
function):- A random grid size (
gridSize
) is generated for each frame, with a value between 10 and 40 pixels. - A nested
for
loop iterates through the canvas in both thex
(horizontal) andy
(vertical) directions, incrementing by the grid size, effectively dividing the canvas into a grid based on the randomgridSize
. - For each grid cell, a random decision is made (50% chance) whether to fill the rectangle with black (
fill(0)
) or white (fill(255)
). - A rectangle (
rect()
) is drawn at the current grid cell coordinates(x, y)
with a width and height equal togridSize
.
- A random grid size (
-
Result:
- Every second, a new grid with rectangles of varying sizes and random black or white fills is drawn over the entire canvas. The randomness of the grid size and the rectangle colors gives it a dynamic and visually changing appearance.
This explanation focuses on describing the functionality of the code in detail, including the roles of variables and processes such as randomization and the grid generation. Let me know if you'd like me to expand on any specific part!
