Click on the green flag to generate a piece of auto generated art inspired to the Mondrian works. When you hear the jingle the picture is done and the program is ready for another run. The results are really far from the formal beauty of the Mondrian composition but, at least, I do an heavy use of the random block!
I usually use the random block at least once in every project, at least the biggest ones, so the exercise would be of little use for me. I had to find something new to learn or experiment with. Since I think the Scratch turtle miss a fill block, I took the chance to create a procedure that emulate it. The perpendicular lines are drawn at random positions. Also the cells to fill with color are chosen in the same way. What I would have do with more time =========================== I would have traced better the lines, with some thicker and layered an algorithm for drawing with a more realistic simulation. Actually the drawing are similar (read I utterly copied it) to https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/mondrian-composition-with-yellow-blue-and-red-t00648 The most difficult thing ================= The real hurdle of this project was laying the lines. A really random choose does not do the trick as the lines appear too near each other, or the canvas is not used in his entirety. What I've done is to split the stage into columns (and rows) and tuning them with random adjustment to imitate the feeling of a Mondrian composition. The result is quite satisfactory to me. @tarmelop for challenging me on creating a simple fill procedure for the scratch pen (I cheated, as I can fill just square and rectangles, but there is space for improvement)
