is it possible to write a program that randomly generate a background like this??? :confused:



the background consists of 2 shapes, with different contrast and size...

This looks like a typical result of many particle physics programs with gravity. I'm sure it's possible by randomly "dropping" objects into the top of the circle and letting them settle.

The "dropping" idea is good :) but the particle physics stuff uses balls ... and mine with different shape... :irritated:

I've seen particle physics that use squares, triangles, and other shapes. The essence of it is to be able to detect collisions between objects and prevent overlap.

to detect collision is still ok but to make them jam packed is very hard since every shape is "bounded" by a rectangle... :irritated:

Why not first, make the background a solid color. Then drop the two shapes in at random where no other shap exists. They will not have to be bounded because the background color will create the remaining shapes.
