Project Two Final Artist Explanation & Images

For this project, I have made an interactive application that uses the ‘mousePressed’,  ‘mouseX’, ‘mouseY’, and ‘mouseButton’ functions to create an interesting and engaging experience. I have created a pink star like image that rotates at a speed of 0.25 with a blue background. When the mouse is being moved around the screen, the centre point of the star follows the mouse around the screen while the arms of the star leave a print in their path and as they get older they begin to fade away but not completely. The ‘mousePressed’ function is a left click that make the application restart so that the user can restart the application. The screen goes black and the cycle repeats for the user to start again. The ‘mouseButton’ function is used with the right click and drag to change the colour of the star to yellow. When the right click is dropped, the star returns back to pink. The user is encouraged to use my application as a form of drawing programme that is different and eye-catching. The user is also encouraged to explore the different interactive functions to adjust the colour and restart the application.
