Daniel I watched A LOT of your videos back in 2017-18 when I was just starting out my major in college and I also read the NOC book. And now I've been a software engineer for 6 months! You inspired me so much I don't think I would have gotten this far if it wasn't for your videos. I just wanted to remind you that you're doing an amazing service for all of us here

Daniel made "random()" a super star in a lot of his videos.

I love your teaching style and personality! I was really scared of programming but now I find it not that hard and a lot of fun!

Hello Daniel, sending gratitude your way for these videos. You have the perfect personality to liven up an otherwise dull subject matter. I’ve been trying to learn JavaScript for a couple years, but keeps getting buried. These videos are truly a gift to the world!

I am curious who'd dislike the video and why... 🤦🤦🤦... it's great stuff man... awesome!!!

[HeadRedShot]

not sure if you still read comments on this video but i learned a lot about the random function from this video. i remade the house randomizer and the painting program and i feel i learned a lot of new stuff from just that

[TuanNguyen]

Hello Ser, I am glad that I found your youtube Channel. I was never Excited to learn about coding before, however from what you are teaching I was blown my mind. Thank you for sharing and teaching :) All the best.

[marianaalvarado]

your teaching style is so dynamic and funny. Thanks for sharing this knowledge in a simple way.

Hey, my brother used to be a patreon and he learned alot of things from you so i got inspirated by him and i started learning codiing aswell!Your videos are so much fun and i just want to say that i appreciate and love what you to do! Ive learned so much things in just 12 episodes of these series! And again thank you so much for what youre doing

As I go down these p5.js videos im also getting in that spaced repetition with some JS also... again thank you.

[BrendanMetcalfe]

Amazing production quality and content!

[nioniostopmo]

I can´t believe I make it this far, and still feeling so interested to continue

[franchello]

I remeber a progran I wrote in high school generated 100 random buildings with windows in a grid. each window had a ranom chance of being lit.

[Troy-olfk]

Now I have a better understanding of setup() and draw()

[CROXoDyLE]

Why am I going to college when I could just be learning from the coding train

[Joevim]

if you need a number without a decimal use: "floor(random())" or "ceil(random())" or "round(random())" to round up, down and to nearest respectively

[rafaelcallejo]

function setup() {
createCanvas(400, 400);
background(0);
}

function draw() {
noStroke();
r = random(100, 255);
g = random(100, 255);
b = random(100, 255);
fill(r, g, b);
circle(mouseX, mouseY, 24);
}
function mousePressed() {
noStroke();
fill(r, g, b);
circle(mouseX, mouseY, 24);
}
