The Interactive Image (Fall 2005)

Code

//Leonardo Covarrubias
//Exercise014
//
//creates lines between two random points, vibrates each end point differently based on its distance from the mouse
//  changes line thickness based on the distance between the mouse and both end points.
//
//based from code by Ersatz, Falschung found at http://courses.cfa.cmu.edu/~golan/courses/dmc/iig_04f/detalle.php?p_id=30&e_id=10
