10 Brand New Programs That I Coded In Java/Processing
Hello, everyone! Today I would like to share ten more little programs that I coded in Java using Processing as programming tool. I will briefly describe the main ideas/concepts behind these programs and highlight their visual appearance by putting one screenshot for each of them. Last but not least, prior to coding some of them, I also watched some rather useful tutorials.
Without further ado, here they are:
1. Mixed rectangle-ellipse animation (version 1)
This animation revolves around the principle of recursion in programming, drawing a table of rectangles and ellipses using a loop. This is the first version of this animation that I made. The idea is that the objects within this animation change colours as each second passes by using the random() and frameRate() functions.
2. Mixed rectangle-ellipse animation (version 2)
Basically same as above, though with some minor other adjustments in terms of visual quality.
3. Abstract art animation
This the screenshot of a finalized abstract art animation that I coded a while ago and adjusted it subsequently last week.
4. Another abstract art animation
I used only 13 lines of code or so in order to make this. It's some sort of electric blue. :)
5. Snowstorm
In this program I tried to simulate some random snowflakes from a snowstorm. Here's the result:
6. A car race simulation
Here I tried to make a car race simulation between a Porsche, a Ford, and a BMW. In the end, the Porsche is the car that wins the race. ;)
7. A dark void-like soundwave
I programmed this animation using, most notably, the noise() function. Here you can see the final result:
8. Ocean waves
Now here I tried to simulate some ocean waves using the same function and programming principles as above, highlighting two levels of water, shallow and deep. Take a look:
9. Sierpinski's carpet (noSmooth)
Here's my take on Sierpinski's carpet with noSmooth for the geometry of the rectangles.

10. Sierpinski's carpet (Smooth)
And here's the smoothed version of Sierpinski's carpet.

I truly hope you have enjoyed taking a short look at these screenshots and I would be also very pleased to have a read at your thought on them in the comments section below. Thank you!
Hehe cool stuff.
Do you do that for learning purposes?
If yes you could try to programm a pacman game.
Its harder then you think, but possible with a little effort and research!
Thank you for the positive feedback. I have programmed this in my spare time but I also do it for learning purposes such as preparation for upcoming university exams. Practice is the key to mastering anything. On the pacman game, I don't think it would be that difficult for me to program that, it would only take more time than I would initially expect I think. It depends...
Anyway, I've already programmed a pong game so I believe I'm a bit experienced and I could take on this challenge sometime in the future as well. :)
Hehe mastering the pacman game can be easy and difficult. Its easy to set up the enviroment but when the ghosts come into play it can get pretty hard.

Ah, I see what you mean now. Indeed, designing the environment using object-oriented programming might not be that difficult, but when it comes to the ghosts then it gets really tricky.
I briefly took a look at the link above and it seems like a very interesting resource indeed. I will surely thoroughly read it when I'll have some more free time and, why not, start then coding a pacman game of my own. Many thanks for this once again. :)
This is awesome dude! That dark void is some scary shit.
Ha, thank you very much! :)
Wow amazing
Execellent work
