Variables and Repetitions

These are two different ways to code the same pattern.
You can either repeat over and over the same code or you can simplify a for loop.

Left, simplified. / Right, repetition.

App

sound & form.

This app is basically for people to relax.
I really think when people plays music, their brain changes the way it works.
Every time that I am in a hardcore brainstorming session or going through a situation where I'm  squeezing my brain out and I need a "quality break" I honestly wish I could know how to play an instrument because you know, sometimes a "run" just won't make it. 
At this point I have no time to learn a new instrument, for that reason a thought of this app.
This app works pretty simple.. 
The phone will open a white canvas and every time you touch the screen a circle will appear, and a music note will play. The longer you touch it, the bigger the circle will be and the longer the note will play.
Every circle of course will have different colors.

This app is not made to learn how to play music, but it will definitely help you relax and think a new way.
