Intro to Programming with P5: Comet

Start with a new p5 sketch.

[x] Use a dark background
[x] Draw a comet (circle) which moves from the top left corner to the bottom right corner
[x] If the comet reaches the edge of the canvas it should start from the top left corner again

Hints

You can use global variables to save the current position of the comet which can be incremented in the draw() function.

let posX = 0;

function draw() {
  circle(posX, 100, 30);
  posX = posX + 1;
}

Bonus

The comet should get bigger while it moves through the canvas.

The comet should have a fading tail.
