How to push values onto an array using random() and for() loop.
I will explain now in more detail. I am currently using the Khan Academy Javascript course to learn the basics of Javascript. I have been struggling with this specific project so much, so don't mind the exstensive comments.
//Controls the X and Y Positions of the raindrops.
var xPositions = [200];
var yPositions = [0];
//This for loop uses a random function to add more values to the X and Y positions. This will create more raindrops.
//Draw Function to animate.
draw = function() {
background(204, 247, 255);
//This for loop draws the raindrops based on the X and Y arrays above.
for (var i = 0; i < xPositions.length; i++) {
//Color + Decorations of the raindrops.
noStroke();
fill(0, 200, 255);
//Draws a circle at the X position and Y Position based on the cyclic increases of the variable i. Y position will then drop by a rate of 5 to make the rain fall to the ground.
ellipse(xPositions[i], yPositions[i]%400, 10, 10);
yPositions[i] += 5;
}
};
As you can see, there is a comment that describes the for loop using a random function to push values to the xPositions and yPositions arrays, which in turn will allow me to create more raindrops. My question is how can I do this? I've been experimenting typing different things, but it seems that the for loop just keeps crashing my computer. I know this is a very simple question but I am still on the basics.
