I have the following code which I want to stop the particles before they leave the screen…
So I dont know how to stop them near the edges of the screen…
Please advice…
Thanks
Particle [] pickles = new Particle [100];
void setup () {
size (500, 500);
smooth ();
for (int i=0; i<pickles.length; i++) {
pickles [i] = new Particle ();
}
}
void draw () {
background (0); //clear the background
for (int i=0; i<pickles.length; i++) {
pickles[i].update();
}
}
class Particle {
float x;
float y;
float velX ; // speed or velocity
float velY;
Particle () {
//x and y position to be in middle of screen
x = width/2;
y = height/2;
velX = random (-10, 10);
velY = random (-10, 10);
}
void update () {
x+=velX;
y+=velY;
fill (255);
ellipse (x, y, 10, 10);
}
}

add some color:

// from @TfGuy44, mod KLL
/*
isn't it a colorful life?
we are all different individuals ( fill color )
and go a different path ( x , y )
bouncing like stupid objects in our little world. ( vel_ = -1*vel_ )
but with the time we get older, slower ( vel_ = vel_ * ageing )
and our path gets darker, ( stroke(_,100, HSBcolstroke) )
but we keep our individuality ( fill (HSBcol, 100, 100) )
until we die alone. ( fill(100) )
