SOME EXPERIMENTS OF GENERATIVE ARTS

This week I began to learn loop and function.
I tried to make some generative arts, which is one of my most interested coding fields. It seems amazing, but it is really hard to create some new pattern. After a few hours of digging out my brain, I cannot even think of a beautiful image that I can create by p5. I feel that I have to do some reading about math. I know there must be a lot of treasure hidden in math equals which is neat and real beauty.
However, that is almost future things. For homework this week, I have to do something based on what I've got—the examples: 10PRINT(https://gist.github.com/shiffman/e683b93f5600dbb7495f)
I begin to have some experiments on the given code(change some poor numbers and details), and have some prototypes which is kind of interesting but not good enough to convince myself.
Such as below,

I think these sketches all have some potentials and maybe I will improve them one day.
Finally I find myself prefer dynamic graphics and start to make my efforts on another example. At a particular moment I got my inspiration by looking at the view outside my window. And here it is my best work today!

The lines randomly generated by two direction braise together to form a scene of Manhattan, an area full of sky-height buildings. the sight keeps moving to create a illusion that the audience are fly above the city.

I also attempted to add some beautiful twinkle stars on the screen to create an bustling atmosphere, but not succeeded yet.
