Launch Java Applet: scribble04

scribble04 is based on the scribble02 sketch, and expands it. It’s my first attempt at using ArrayLists in Processing. And they work really well! Each little scribbler is its own object. It starts out at the max size, and there is a percent chance as it draws along that it will spawn a new scribbler. When spawned, the new child is larger than its parent, thus keeping the system alive. Over time though, a max amount of scribblers is hit, at which point no new ones can be born, and they all start shrinking in size. Eventually they get too small, and all die. But in the mean time, they make some pretty pictures…
