I wanted controlled randomness in my portrait because I don’t like overlapping geometric shapes so I decided to use my wallpaper project as a template and treated the tiles as “slots” I could fill in randomly. I wanted to practice my objects so in the end I organized my code using an object. After I finished, I realized that a lot of spots were being reused so it is takes a long time to fill in the last few slots. So with help, I decided to create a 2d array that stored all of the coordinates that have not been used yet. After I drew that cube I removed it from the array.
