Can so many circles create the Mandala image?
Description of this example code.
It's a creative coding example made with the 'Processing' in Java mode. It generates various patterns with many random circles.
The 'Processing' code examples.
Second version.
Please feel free to use this example code under the terms of the GPL.
To see other works based on my code is my pleasure. And my honor.

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.
