Code and Common Modules

mayan_squares.py is what you have to run to recreate these images. Run this from inside the Processing IDE, since it uses Processing.

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.
