Simple action methods in processing - processing

Question

original code given:
int[] x = {50,61,83,69,71,50,29,31,17,39};
int[] y = {18,37,43,60,82,73,82,60,43,37};
beginShape();
for(int i=0;i < x.length; i++)
vertex(x[i],y[i]);
endShape(CLOSE);
Add the appropriate methods so the star will appear at a random location. This method does NOT allow the user to select the location of a star.
Use a "for" loop in the setup method to call the star() method 100 times to produce 100 stars on the screen.
This is what I have so far...something obviously isn't right
void setup()
{
size(800,600);
background(#0F4D7C);
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
randomStar();
}
}
void randomStar()
{
pushMatrix();
translate(0,0);
int[] x = {50,61,83,69,71,50,29,31,17,39};
int[] y = {18,37,43,60,82,73,82,60,43,37};
beginShape();
for(int i=0;i < x.length; i++)
vertex(x[i],y[i]);
endShape(CLOSE);
popMatrix();
}

Answer 1

You are missing the draw() method. I've also moved translate(x,y) to the for loop. Check it out:
void setup()
{
size(800, 600);
background(#0F4D7C);
noLoop();
}
void draw() {
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
pushMatrix();
translate(random(width), random(height));
randomStar();
popMatrix();
}
}
void randomStar()
{
int[] x = {
50, 61, 83, 69, 71, 50, 29, 31, 17, 39
};
int[] y = {
18, 37, 43, 60, 82, 73, 82, 60, 43, 37
};
beginShape();
for (int i=0; i < x.length; i++)
vertex(x[i], y[i]);
endShape(CLOSE);
}
