Based on the Triangle Flower example from the Processing learning basics site, I’ve come up with a rendered image that will generate a random, coloured spiral every time it loads. It’s similar to the appearance of a kaleidoscope. You can have a look at it online here.
At this point, to see a new spiral, you have to re-run the Java, or re-load the page rather than pressing a button, moving the mouse or anything like that. Hopefully I’ll be able to get that to work soon as I think it would look pretty cool if I could get it to change as you move the mouse over it, similar to the way a kaleidoscope changes as you move it around.
I suspect it is to do with the lack of a draw() function, but when I add it in and run the spiral() function from within the draw() function, it completely changes the way the spirals render and I haven’t yet been able to get it to behave correctly.
