Creative Coding is an activity where a _human_ (not AI) engages in programming a computer purely for enjoyment and the pursuit of creativity. This activity is not as a result of employment, seeking employment, seeking some compensation, or fulfilling some other obligation. It is programming to make the computer do something new and interesting. In fact it does not have to be new at all… as long as it is enjoyable and not harmful to other human beings and the environment.
