One Thousand Lines

Concept

For my 1 thousand lines I created a series of lines that ran along the borders of the page. I mapped them to the position of the mouse and made it so stroke weight and the amount of lines would change depending on the position of the lines. I also changed the increment in which the lines were draw, switching between predetermined numbers to random ones. Like my other two line projects I seemed to have a incredibly hard time bringing what I had envisioned on paper into fruition. I had some issues with making if statements that weren’t complete contradictions of one another as well as call values. Unlike my other two line programs by this attempt I had become more familiar with mapping and didn’t have a big issue with it. Overall I was really pleased with my final outcome.
