+
+// ============================================================================
+// 1. PARAMETER ORGANIZATION
+// ============================================================================
+// Keep all tunable parameters in one object
+// This makes it easy to:
+// - Connect to UI controls
+// - Reset to defaults
+// - Serialize/save configurations
+
+let params = {
+    // Define parameters that match YOUR algorithm
+    // Examples (customize for your art):
+    // - Counts: how many elements (particles, circles, branches, etc.)
+    // - Scales: size, speed, spacing
+    // - Probabilities: likelihood of events
+    // - Angles: rotation, direction
+    // - Colors: palette arrays
+
+    seed: 12345,
+    // define colorPalette as an array -- choose whatever colors you'd like ['#d97757', '#6a9bcc', '#788c5d', '#b0aea5']
+    // Add YOUR parameters here based on your algorithm
+};
+
+// ============================================================================
+// 2. SEEDED RANDOMNESS (Critical for reproducibility)
+// ============================================================================
+// ALWAYS use seeded random for Art Blocks-style reproducible output
+
+function initializeSeed(seed) {
+    randomSeed(seed);
+    noiseSeed(seed);
+    // Now all random() and noise() calls will be deterministic
+}
+
+// ============================================================================
+// 3. P5.JS LIFECYCLE
+// ============================================================================
+
+function setup() {
+    createCanvas(800, 800);
+
+    // Initialize seed first
+    initializeSeed(params.seed);
+
+    // Set up your generative system
+    // This is where you initialize:
+    // - Arrays of objects
+    // - Grid structures
+    // - Initial positions
+    // - Starting states
+
+    // For static art: call noLoop() at the end of setup
+    // For animated art: let draw() keep running
+}
+
+function draw() {
+    // Option 1: Static generation (runs once, then stops)
+    // - Generate everything in setup()
+    // - Call noLoop() in setup()
+    // - draw() doesn't do much or can be empty
+
+    // Option 2: Animated generation (continuous)
+    // - Update your system each frame
+    // - Common patterns: particle movement, growth, evolution
+    // - Can optionally call noLoop() after N frames
+
+    // Option 3: User-triggered regeneration
+    // - Use noLoop() by default
+    // - Call redraw() when parameters change
+}
+
+// ============================================================================
+// 4. CLASS STRUCTURE (When you need objects)
+// ============================================================================
+// Use classes when your algorithm involves multiple entities
+// Examples: particles, agents, cells, nodes, etc.
+
+class Entity {
+    constructor() {
+        // Initialize entity properties
+        // Use random() here - it will be seeded
+    }
+
+    update() {
+        // Update entity state
+        // This might involve:
+        // - Physics calculations
+        // - Behavioral rules
+        // - Interactions with neighbors
+    }
+
+    display() {
+        // Render the entity
+        // Keep rendering logic separate from update logic
+    }
+}
+
+// ============================================================================
+// 5. PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
+// ============================================================================
+
+// For large numbers of elements:
+// - Pre-calculate what you can
+// - Use simple collision detection (spatial hashing if needed)
+// - Limit expensive operations (sqrt, trig) when possible
+// - Consider using p5 vectors efficiently
+
+// For smooth animation:
+// - Aim for 60fps
+// - Profile if things are slow
+// - Consider reducing particle counts or simplifying calculations
+
+// ============================================================================
+// 6. UTILITY FUNCTIONS
+// ============================================================================
+
+// Color utilities
+function hexToRgb(hex) {
+    const result = /^#?([a-f\d]{2})([a-f\d]{2})([a-f\d]{2})$/i.exec(hex);
+    return result ? {
+        r: parseInt(result[1], 16),
+        g: parseInt(result[2], 16),
+        b: parseInt(result[3], 16)
+    } : null;
+}
+
+function colorFromPalette(index) {
+    return params.colorPalette[index % params.colorPalette.length];
+}
+
+// Mapping and easing
+function mapRange(value, inMin, inMax, outMin, outMax) {
+    return outMin + (outMax - outMin) * ((value - inMin) / (inMax - inMin));
+}
+
+function easeInOutCubic(t) {
+    return t < 0.5 ? 4 * t * t * t : 1 - Math.pow(-2 * t + 2, 3) / 2;
+}
+
+// Constrain to bounds
+function wrapAround(value, max) {
+    if (value < 0) return max;
+    if (value > max) return 0;
+    return value;
+}
+
+// ============================================================================
+// 7. PARAMETER UPDATES (Connect to UI)
+// ============================================================================
+
+function updateParameter(paramName, value) {
+    params[paramName] = value;
+    // Decide if you need to regenerate or just update
+    // Some params can update in real-time, others need full regeneration
+}
+
+function regenerate() {
+    // Reinitialize your generative system
+    // Useful when parameters change significantly
+    initializeSeed(params.seed);
+    // Then regenerate your system
+}
+
+// ============================================================================
+// 8. COMMON P5.JS PATTERNS
+// ============================================================================
+
+// Drawing with transparency for trails/fading
+function fadeBackground(opacity) {
+    fill(250, 249, 245, opacity); // Anthropic light with alpha
+    noStroke();
+    rect(0, 0, width, height);
+}
+
+// Using noise for organic variation
+function getNoiseValue(x, y, scale = 0.01) {
+    return noise(x * scale, y * scale);
+}
+
+// Creating vectors from angles
+function vectorFromAngle(angle, magnitude = 1) {
+    return createVector(cos(angle), sin(angle)).mult(magnitude);
+}
+
+// ============================================================================
+// 9. EXPORT FUNCTIONS
+// ============================================================================
+
+function exportImage() {
+    saveCanvas('generative-art-' + params.seed, 'png');
+}
+
+// ============================================================================
+// REMEMBER
+// ============================================================================
+//
+// These are TOOLS and PRINCIPLES, not a recipe.
+// Your algorithmic philosophy should guide WHAT you create.
+// This structure helps you create it WELL.
+//
+// Focus on:
+// - Clean, readable code
+// - Parameterized for exploration
+// - Seeded for reproducibility
+// - Performant execution
+//
+// The art itself is entirely up to you!
+//
