Intro to Programming with P5: Random Comets

[codingbootcampseu]

Use the sketch from the previous task.

• [x] Create a function that will create a new random comet
  • [x] Random x (between 0 and canvas width) and y (between 0 and half canvas height)
  • [x] Random Diameter
  • [x] Random Velocity
• [ ] All comets should be stored in a global array
• [ ] Create a random number comets on startup (between 4 and 8)
• [ ] Update all comets in the draw function using a loop
• [ ] Reset x and y to a random value (according to the initial requirements) when comet leaves canvas

Hints

function createRandomComet() {
  let newComet = { x: random(..., ...), ... };
  return newComet;
}

Not all keys must be created upon object creation.

// Create empty object
let newComet = {};

// Create keys / properties afterwards
newComet.x = 0;
newComet.y = 0;
