Hi @fijthecreator,

This will change the stroke color as _step_ increments:

`stroke(step\*255/78.0); // step 0 to 78 becomes 0 to 255 ( for color)’

There is also the `map()` function to re-map a number from one range to another:  
[https://processing.org/reference/map\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/map_.html)

Scrutinize the above carefully and understand what it is doing and where it may be useful.

A search in the forum for _terrain_ will yield many results.

I encourage you to do some exploration of the Processing resources and experimenting with the code.

Resources here:  
[https://processing.org/](https://processing.org/)

Make use of _println()_ statements to see what the variables are doing in your code and consider what to do to change them in a loop or over time.
