Design is not the narrow application of formal skills, it is a way of thinking.

Reference

This is the original code that gave me inspiration and helped me conduct my own code.

Main idea

A developement on my previous ideas has lead me to rain. I found a code with falling dots which really interested me. To make this more interactive and my own, I decided to make the rain appear only when I dragged my mouse, so in the area I dragged my mouse the rain would fall in that block. Also the colour was quite boring so I wanted to make it go from a dark blue to a light blue.By doing this another idea came to mind, that rain falls from clouds. I have been looking at pictures of clouds and the form of them and by using elispses and circles and combining transparencey I will hopefully be able to achieve the realistic idea of a cloud that produces rain.
