## Content

This piece was created on a rainy evening in Venice Beach. This piece uses a rate to draw items across the canvas. When the rate is higher, the piece appears more disparate as the draw speed is much faster.This is a result of using a custom random walk algorithm. let yy = sin(noise(xx+xo*a)*29)*0.5+0.5; let d0 = noise(xx+xo*b+height)*2-1; let d1 = noise(xo+xx*b-height)*2-1; crss(xx+4, height * yy+2, d0*40, d1*40, "#000"); crss(xx+4, height * yy+2, d0*40, d1*40, chosenPal[colori]); crss(xx+4, height * yy+4, d0*80, d1*80, "#fff"); crss(xx, height * yy, d0*80, d1*80, chosenPal[colori]); xx += rate; if (xx >= width+80) { xx = -80; xo = 777; iterations++; rate += 0.1; }The variation in these outputs can be seen below. The more disparate the sketch, the higher the initial draw rate.
