Generate random shape along a point on circumference of circle - webgl

Question

I am new to webgl ,i created a circle from vertices generated in a loop and i want a random shape(small circle) to be generated on some point along the circumference of the big circle.Can anyone provide me some info on how i can acheive this
Here is my code for the circle:
var vertexShaderText = [
'uniform vec2 u_resolution;',
'',
'attribute vec2 a_position;',
'',
'void main()',
'{',
'',
'vec2 clipspace = a_position / u_resolution * 1.0 ;',
'',
'gl_Position = vec4(clipspace * vec2(1, -1), 0, 1);',
'}'
].join("\n");
var fragmentShaderText = [
'precision mediump float;',
'',
'void main(void)',
'{',
'',
'gl_FragColor = vec4(0, 0, 0, 1.0);',
'',
'}'
].join("\n");
var uni = function(){
var canvas = document.getElementById("game-surface");
var gl = canvas.getContext("webgl",{antialias: true});
console.log("This is working");
gl.clearColor(0.412,0.412,0.412,1);
gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
var vertextShader = gl.createShader(gl.VERTEX_SHADER);
var fragmentShader = gl.createShader(gl.FRAGMENT_SHADER);
gl.shaderSource(vertextShader,vertexShaderText);
gl.shaderSource(fragmentShader,fragmentShaderText);
gl.compileShader(vertextShader);
gl.compileShader(fragmentShader);
if(!gl.getShaderParameter(vertextShader,gl.COMPILE_STATUS)){
console.error("Error with vertexshader",gl.getShaderInfoLog(vertextShader));
return;
}
if(!gl.getShaderParameter(fragmentShader,gl.COMPILE_STATUS)){
console.error("Error with fragmentShader",gl.getShaderInfoLog(fragmentShader));
return;
}
var program =gl.createProgram();
gl.attachShader(program,vertextShader);
gl.attachShader(program,fragmentShader);
gl.linkProgram(program);
gl.useProgram(program);
if(!gl.getProgramParameter(program,gl.LINK_STATUS)){
console.error("Error linking program",gl.getProgramInfoLog(program));
return;
}
gl.validateProgram(program);
if(!gl.getProgramParameter(program,gl.VALIDATE_STATUS)){
console.error("Error validating",gl.getProgramInfoLog(program));
}
var circle = {x: 0, y:0, r: 55};
var ATTRIBUTES = 2;
var numFans = 32;
var degreePerFan = (2* Math.PI) / numFans;
var vertexData = [circle.x, circle.y];
for(var i = 0; i <= numFans; i++) {
var index = ATTRIBUTES * i + 2; // there is already 2 items in array
var angle = degreePerFan * (i+0.1);
vertexData[index] = circle.x + Math.cos(angle) * circle.r;
vertexData[index + 1] = circle.y + Math.sin(angle) * circle.r;
}
console.log(vertexData);
var vertexDataTyped = new Float32Array(vertexData);
var buffer = gl.createBuffer();
gl.bindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, buffer);
gl.bufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, vertexDataTyped, gl.STATIC_DRAW);
var resolutionLocation = gl.getUniformLocation(program, "u_resolution");
gl.uniform2f(resolutionLocation, canvas.width, canvas.height);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(positionLocation);
var positionLocation = gl.getAttribLocation(program, "a_position");
gl.vertexAttribPointer(positionLocation, 2, gl.FLOAT, false, ATTRIBUTES * Float32Array.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT, 0);
gl.drawArrays(gl.TRIANGLE_FAN, 0, vertexData.length/ATTRIBUTES);
};
uni();
<canvas id="game-surface"></canvas>

It's hard to answer your question because WebGL is just a rasterization library so there's literally 1000s of ways to draw something somewhere.
So, you can
add more points
You generated the circle points. Generate some more for whatever else you want to draw.
draw the same circle multiple times in different places and sizes
Let's say you wanted to draw a small circle on the big circle. Compute a matrix to scale and reorient the big circle where you want it to be, update the matrix, draw the circle again.
draw more things
Just like you drew the circle, draw something else like a square and position it at the edge of the circle.
1000 more ways...
