I would like to generate circles at a random place in a circle, I do not know how to do this without having the circles generated by the generator overlap the edges of the starting circle
please send code
please send money first LOL
if that is a homework thing i must inform you that
teacher expect us NOT to send full code solutions to students
who instead of learning want go the easy way ?and cheat?
even that is not always clear?
if there is a ready code by a example / tutorial / video /
what solves your question, can i not link to it?
a circle on a random position with a ?fix? radius Ri
must be how far from the big outer circle? with radius R0
so it just touch that circle?
in that case, the center of the new small circle can be how far from the center of the big circle?

A link to an example of this helpful.
I apologize for not being specific, but I plan to tailor the base method of creating a circle at a random location in a circle without touching the edges of the larger circle to fit my needs.
more information in case u are wondering:
The larger circle is at a fixed position.
the size of the smaller circles doesn’t matter as long as it is in the bigger circle
the smaller circle can be as far as possible from the center of the circle assuming it does not cross the boundaries of the larger circle
yes it can touch the boundaries of the larger circle
thanks for your time, sorry for sounding desperate.
good,
so show us your ( ? 10 line code example )
where you draw
- -1- the outer circle
- -2- create a random position for the inner circles.
- -3- ? here missing math for check THE RULE ?
- -4- draw the inner circle(s)
so possible the -3- question can be a short function
what checks on the inner ? circle to circle collision?
and picks a other set of random position numbers…
//height and width are the screen length in x and y cords
ellipse(height/2,width/2,250,250);
int rand = random(0,4);
if (rand == 0){
ellipse(height/2,width/2-random(0,10),25,25);
}
if (rand == 1){
ellipse(height/2-random(0,10),width/2,25,25);
}
if (rand == 2){
ellipse(height/2-random(0,10),width/2-random(0,10),25,25);
}
if (rand == 3){
ellipse(height/2+random(0,10),width/2+random(0,10),25,25);
}
It isn’t very good, but It is what I have as of now regarding the code
This is very achievable.

sorry, your code not run here.
also the 0 … 4 thing not makes too much sense
width and height are used for y and x instead x and y
the random position is not covering all canvas…
without a size() you can not show the big circle…
and why you not start with the default "non static mode " structure for processing
setup() and draw()
Think I got it.
Give me a bit to type it
ok this is all my code
I attempted to run a while loop until said parameters regarding the position of the circle are true, however it just pauses upon being run idk how to fix this
The code to create the smaller circle in the larger circle is triggered via pressing “N” (hold shift)

yes, while loops are dangerous , might run forever
you should put 2 println() lines in it and print your variables
so you see how often the while is running,
and if the condition ever gets true?
but for a circle to circle collision you need to know
- the distance of the centers ( need some math from x and y …)
- the two radius ( not the diameter )
that you do a inner circle collision only means that must be:
dist( C0 , C1 ) + R1 < R0
anyhow sorry, i go back to my original question:
minimal code for the 2 circles ( non static mode )
float Ri = 12, Ro = 125;
void setup() {
size(300, 300);
noLoop();
println("press any key");
}
void draw() {
background(200, 200, 0);
fill(0,0,200);
ellipse(width/2, height/2, 2*Ro, 2*Ro);
float xpos = random(-width/2, width/2);
float ypos = random(-height/2, height/2);
// here need to check THE RULE
float dist = sqrt( sq(xpos) + sq(ypos) ); // distance of the 2 circle centers
if ( dist + Ri > Ro ) fill(200,0,0); // do more here?
else fill(0,200,0);
ellipse(width/2+xpos, height/2+ypos, 2*Ri, 2*Ri);
}
void keyPressed() {
redraw();
}
