⬆ This is the basic starter template - you can begin coding right away and don't need an account to start

{% code overflow="wrap" lineNumbers="true" %}

```python
def setup():
  createCanvas(400,400)

def draw():
  background("red")
  drawTickAxes() 
```

{% endcode %}

* Code put into setup() will execute once, when the canvas initializes.&#x20;
* Code put into draw() will execute repeatedly, 60 times per second. Each execution is called a frame.
* Try out putting some code - for example from the Shapes section - into the setup() and draw() functions and see what happens! Happy Coding 😁
