My first processing project: The Sun

Equally inspired by children’s illustrated science books from the 1950s as well as Bruno Munari’s Drawing the Sun
The flares are parametric objects created with sine waves functions; there is a demo for a single flare here.
Some variations of the flare parameters are shown below.
Long & straight
Short & fat
Noodly appendages
Hair-like
Lots of flares (300)
