How to make fireworks

Preparation

Install Processing!

Processing is a programmable vector drawing tool. The contents are made of Java, and the grammar is also Java.

Create Particle class

That spark of fireworks? As part of, let's create a Particle class. Here is the function you want to implement.

--Sparks? I want you to draw a parabola and move. The laws of physics

For the time being, create a Particle class.

class Particle {
}

Next, we want the laws of physics, so we define the required members as position, velocity, and acceleration.

class Particle {
  PVector location;
  PVector velocity;
  PVector acceleration;

  Particle (float xpos, float ypos, float xsp, float ysp) {
    this.location = new PVector(xpos, ypos); //Initial position
    this.velocity = new PVector(xsp, ysp); //Initial velocity
    this.acceleration = new PVector(0, 0.001); //Gravitational acceleration guy
  }
}

Now, next is the method to move according to the laws of physics. The contents are simple. I just defined that famous law of physics.

a = \frac{dv}{dt}, v = \frac{dx}{dt}

class Particle {
  //...
  void update () {
    this.velocity.add(this.acceleration);
    this.location.add(this.velocity);
  }
}

And sparks? Write a method for drawing.

class Particle {
  //...
  void display () {
    pushMatrix();
    resetMatrix();
    translate(this.location.x, this.location.y);
    ellipse(0, 0, 10, 10); //Draw a circle
    popMatrix();
  }
}

Create a Firework class

spark? It is a class to scatter. The following functions are required!

--Sparks? Randomly scatter 360 degrees

class Firework {
}

spark? Let's give the members the position of the fireworks.

class Firework {
  PVector location;
  ArrayList<Particle> particles;
  
  Firework (float xpos, float ypos) {
    this.location = new PVector(xpos, ypos);
    this.particles = new ArrayList<Particle>();
  }
}

After that, sparks? Let's write a method to scatter. By the way, even drawing.

class Firework {
  //...

  //Spread
  void explode () {
    for (int i = 0; i < 400; i++) {
      float theta = random(0, TWO_PI);
      particles.add(new Particle(
        this.location.x, this.location.y, //Install sparks at the position of fireworks
        cos(theta), sin(theta) //Set the initial velocity to any of 360 degrees
      ));
    }
  }
  
  //Physical calculation of sparks
  void update () {
    for (int i = 0; i < 400; i++) {
      particles.get(i).update();
    }
  }
  
  //Drawing of sparks
  void display () {
    fill(255); //I tried to make the spark white
    for (int i = 0; i < 400; i++) {
      particles.get(i).display();
    }
  }
}

Well, ready!

Fireworks? Prepare for: When you're done, do it!

Firework firework;

void setup () {
  size(600, 600); //Build a 600x600 campus

  firework = new Firework(width/2, height/2); //Set up fireworks
  
  firework.explode(); //Sprinkle sparks
}

void draw () {
  background(0); //The background is Black
  firework.update();Fireworks calculation
  firework.display(); //Fireworks drawing
}

e? What is shoboi? Isn't it such a firework?

Ugh, fine I will do it~

Finally, when it starts to look like fireworks

Now this!

Finally

This is a program I made when I was in the first year of college. Is it about two years ago? It's super fun to experience programming for the first time since I entered university! It was a time when I was writing the code while thinking about it. Of course I still write it.

I couldn't think of anything, so I tried this.

The source code is dirty, but here it is. https://github.com/RyosukeCla/fireworks

It's winter but do you want fireworks? ?? Then implement it
