The related workshop Code like an Artist ist recognized by the international meet and code program.

More information on the related artworks and the samples is in the doc folder.

The code samples don't aim to demonstrate best-practice in terms of coding style and documentation (not even on English syntax and grammar). Instead, they try to give an introduction in a very brief manner to everything from "what is a variable" to "how to create a movie" and beyond.
