Colour in your cheeks - Processing sketch - project 3

From Physical Programming

Endeavouring to create a random pattern of bubbles that were actuated as the mouse moved across the screen, they would rise to the top and on their way, pop into smaller bubbles. This did not happen!

Upon opening the screen, an automatically generated sequence of rectangles begins with a coded opacity around 50%. These rectangles will continue to be produced creating layer upon layer.

To initiate the next command, the mouse is dragged over the image window with the left button pressed. This gives the command to deploy a variety of randomly sized ellipses of various colour. Similar to a drawing tool, instead of a straight line, the effect is harlequin-esque patterning.

The next step to bring my processing to fruition is by engaging with the keyboard and depressing 'spacebar'. This action activates the colour change of the background randomly and can be effected repeatedly. Due to the codes heirachy, this also refreshes the screen so the rectangles and ellipses can begin again.
