Sketch 1: If I were the Ant Link: https://thimbleprojects.org/maggiieelee/62418/ Inspired by the GenerateMe on Tumblr, I created this sketch. In the ants' world, there are only 2 dimensions, of which the moving path is random and aimless. Hence, the result is unpredictable, just as this sketch.

Sketch 2: If I were the Minion Link: https://thimbleprojects.org/maggiieelee/62416/ For the Minions, their life is easy and simple. Only couple of bananas can make them happy the whole day. Sometimes, I wish I can be as simple as them. Throw bananas for a happier and simpler life!

Sketch 3: If I were the Firework Link: https://thimbleprojects.org/maggiieelee/62432 Life is short as the fireworks, so seize the day and enjoy the moment!

Nice work! Just make sure you have instructions (UI description) if any of the sketches are interactive. Also, re: Sketch3, you'll get better performance from your particle system if you remove dead particles. Here's a remixed example of how you would remove particles whose lifespan is less than or equal to 0. This is a good example for anyone who is running into performance issues with their particle systems.

https://thimbleprojects.org/kevinsiwoff/63137

The most important code goes in your draw loop here:

if(particleHolder[i].lifespan <= 0){
      //remove the dead element from our array
      particleHolder.splice(i,1);
    }
else {
    particleHolder[i].explode();
    particleHolder[i].display();
}

Also, please make sure you add the following function to all of your sketches:

function windowResized() {
  resizeCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);
}
