Project 05: Wallpaper

This wallpaper was inspired by a phone case I recently purchased online. Watermelons are one of my favorite fruits and green is my favorite color so I thought it’d be fun to code this design. To make it more dynamic, I decided to make the positions of the watermelons somewhat random and the placement of the seeds random inside so that each slice is unique.

function setup() {
    createCanvas(600, 400);
    background(101, 173, 119); // green background
    for(var x = 0; x <= width; x += 20){ // vertical stripes
    	stroke(136, 213, 156);
    	strokeWeight(5);
    	line(x, 0, x, height);
    }
    for(var y = 0; y <= height; y += 20){ // horizontal stripes
    	stroke(136, 213, 156);
    	strokeWeight(5);
    	line(0, y, width, y);
    }

}

function watermelonHalf() { // draw watermelon halves
	//semicircle
	rotate(radians(random(-30, 30))); // random position
	noStroke();
	fill(38, 144, 65);
	arc(0, 0, 60, 60, 0, PI); // green part
	fill(255);
	arc(0, 0, 55, 55, 0, PI); // white part
	fill(236, 80, 102);
	arc(0, 0, 50, 50, 0, PI); // red part
	for(var seeds = 0; seeds <= 5; seeds += 1){ // random seed positions
		fill(0);
		ellipse(random(-20, 20), random(5, 15), 2, 3);
	}
	noLoop();
}

function watermelonSlice() { // draw watermelon slices
	//triangular slice
	rotate(radians(random(60, 90))); // random position
	noStroke();
	fill(38, 144, 65);
	arc(0, 0, 70, 70, 0, PI/3); // green

	arc(0, 0, 60, 60, 0, PI/3); // red 
	for(var seeds = 0; seeds <= 2; seeds += 1){ // seeds
