Array / Object 

Florist  




For the Array assignment, I used the flower I created last week for the function assignment, finishing what I initially wanted to do with the flowers: placing them on the screen as the mouse clicks.

I started by placing the flower on the screen without the previous one staying there.

The challenge came as Array is used. One of the big issue was there are spaces between the flowers that are far from each other with each. I was debugging for a while using different methods of arrays.

But turns out the translate within the drawFlower function was stacked up, and the issue was easily solved with a push and pop.


I have also made a version with a gradient background, where the flowers will leave a trace.

For future developments, I want to try to make the flowers float around in random directions instead of falling downwards. Also I want the background to be more lively, but I didn’t come up with any fitting ideas.
