What is Processing.py and how does it differ from Processing Java?

Explain the draw() and setup() functions.

How do you handle user input in Processing.py?

Describe the PVector class and its uses.

How can Processing.py be used for generative art?

setup() - initializes the sketch

draw() - main animation loop

rect(x, y, w, h) - draw rectangle

ellipse(x, y, w, h) - draw circle/ellipse

fill(color) / stroke(color) - color settings
