Different Points Of View
It must be an accidental coding example.
It's the creative coding work or generative art made with the 'Processing'.
When I played around with this code, I found that 'blendMode(SCREEN)' and 'pointLight(0, 0, 100, 0, 0, 0)' makes some interesting effect.
I didn't expect it but it came out!
Yes, I used the 'Accidental coding method'. ;-)
'Processing' code examples.
Please feel free to use this example codes.
To see other works based on my code is my pleasure. And my honor.
Simple version
I don't know why I wrote such a complex code in 2017...

To make something is my pleasure. Having fun in endless trial-and-error. Now, I'm loving creative coding and showing some example code in my blog. Mainly creating Processing code examples.
