At first, I wanted to create an image similar to the NYU library floor in New York, which looks like this:
but it was a little bit too hard for me so I decided to draw a square version of it.
Step 2: Draw your image in Processing
I wanted to duplicate the motif I found. I spent the entire class trying to find the pattern so that I can draw a line of squares at one time and I succeeded.
I learnt some Processing basics last semester but I learnt it in Python. So I used Python in this recitation. I perceive Processing as a good way to create animation. Drawing is just the first step.
