Easter Egg Sketch 2. This one uses a loop to change the color of the eggs.

// easter egg sketch!

// set up some variables for the egg colors.  
// taken together, these are RGB purple

int   r = 206;
int   g = 93;
int   b = 219 ;


// set the size of the background
size (400, 400);


// set the color of the background (robin's egg blue)
background (93, 199, 219);

// create a nested loop that repeats drawing eggs
for (int y = 0; y <= height; y += 40) {
for (int x = 0; x <= width; x += 40) {

  
// Let's set the color of the eggs, and then change them
// progressively each time the loop runs.  

// first, we'll say if "r" -- the R value in our RGB is 
// less than 255 (black), then we'll mess with the colors!
 if (r < 255) 
 
 // if r is less than 255
 // take whatever the r(ed) value is and multiply by 1.3
 // add one to the g(reen) value
 // and subtract one from the b(lue) value
   fill ((r*1.5), g++, b--);

  // no outer line around the eggs
noStroke();

  // draw an oval for the egg -- x and y are the horizontal
  // and vertical start points; 40 and 30
  // are the dimensions
ellipse (x, y, 40, 30);
  }
}


// Let's create a nice decorative font for our message
PFont easterFont;
easterFont = loadFont("BernardMT-Condensed-36.vlw");
textFont(easterFont);

// Let's set the color of the text -- white (255)
fill(255);

// Let's print our holiday message
// and set where it appears on the canvas
// (90px from left edge, 200 from top edge)
text("Happy Easter", 110, 200);

To import fonts, use Tools > Font Creator in the Processing IDE. If not, it will just default to a standard font. You can change the size of the font using textSize(). So if you wanted the text of the greeting bigger, you could do something like:

textSize(48);
