Code and Common Modules

This sketch uses grid.py and colors.py

For most of these, I am using the Processing Framework. Since I mostly code in Python, I use the Python extension of Processing, which is not as popular as its Java version. Also, I sometimes create small resuable code segments which I use in multiple projects. I'm sharing all my genart code, in case others find it useful.
