In this stream I solved the Random Composition assignment from my Bauhaus Coding Workshop course, which is about distributing three different geometric shapes with random parameters on the format. I also wanted to give the course a new colorful style to break away a bit from something dry black and white.

color black = #000000;
color white = #f1f1f1;
color blue = #0000ff;

void setup() {
  size(900, 900);
  //frameRate(1);
  strokeCap(SQUARE);
  randomSeed(0);
}

void draw() {
  background(white);

  noFill();
  stroke(#000000);
  strokeWeight(2);
  float spacing = 75;

  beginShape();
  for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
    float x = random(spacing, width-spacing);
    float y = random(spacing, width-spacing);
    curveVertex(x, y);
  }
  endShape();



  stroke(blue);
  strokeWeight(50);
  float x1 = random(spacing, width-spacing);
  float y1 = random(spacing, width-spacing);
  float x2 = random(spacing, width-spacing);
  float y2 = random(spacing, width-spacing);
  line(x1, y1, x2, y2);

  noStroke();
  fill(black);
  float diameter = random(200, 300);
  spacing = diameter;
  float x = random(spacing, width-spacing);
  float y = random(spacing, width-spacing);

  ellipse(x, y, diameter, diameter);

  saveFrame("out/####.png");
  saveFrame("../"+sketchname+".png");
}

Many thanks to Olinga for the edit!
