Security Notes
Processing.py sketches are local programs; minimal security risk
Avoid running untrusted code from unknown sources
Exported sketches should be sandboxed when sharing
Be cautious with file I/O and network libraries
Back up sketches regularly
Monitoring Analytics
Debug with print statements
Visualize object positions and motion
Log performance metrics if needed
Check frame rate for smoothness
Track interactions for user studies
Code Quality
Comment code and explain logic
