Processing: Fader Boxes

Another Processing sketch, fairly simple. This one does introduce a function (or subroutine) named ‘makeBox’ that we pass some values into.

See it in action here!

You can also see where we used height/2 which is the proper way to center something on the screen, rather than taking the 600 we specified and just using 300 as the halfway point.

/*

 */

void setup() {
  size(800, 600);
  background(0);
  stroke(255);
  noFill();
}

void draw() {
  
  for (int xVal = 5; xVal < (width - 20); xVal = xVal + 20) {
    int myWidth = 10;
    int myHeight = xVal/2;
    int yVal = (height/2) - (myHeight/2);
    int myColor = xVal/4;
    
    makeBox(xVal, yVal, myWidth, myHeight, myColor);
    
    }

}

void makeBox(int x, int y, int w, int h, int c) {
  stroke(c);
  rect(x, y, w, h);
}

(These sketches may not be all that impressive, but it’s giving me a chance to flex my programming muscles in Processing.)
