Genuary 2026

Happy New Year! It's time for Genuary 2026! I am not sure how many prompts I will do (or combine), but I hope to share my code and progress here. I hope to get at least 5-10 done this year with a mix of different languages and approaches. This post will be updated as I go through the month.

Day 01 + Day 23

One color, one shape. + Transparency.

Processing Java v4.4.10 (p5js version here)

void setup() {
  size(2000, 2000);
  // 100 images to make video
  for (int img = 0; img < 100; img++) {
    //transparency + one color
    fill(80, 160, 180,50);
    noStroke();
    float c = random(1);
    int n = 6;
    push();
    translate(width/2, height/2);
    for (int i = 0; i < 5000; i++) {
      float x1 = width/3 * cos(c * i / 100);
      float y1 = randomGaussian() / 4 * width / 3 * sin(c * i / 100);
      float diameter = randomGaussian() ;
      for (float j = 1; j < n; j += 0.5) {
        push();
        rotate(j * TWO_PI / n);
        //one shape
        circle(x1 / j, y1 / j, diameter / j);
        pop();
      }
    }
    pop();
    save("/Users/you/folder/circles-" + nf(img, 2) + ".png"); 
  }
}
