Porting more Processing tutorials for py5 (via p5 and Processing.py)

[villares]

Our friendly neighbors from the p5 (a.k.a. p5py) project have done some wonderful work porting Processing Java tutorials, some of which have never before been ported to Processing Python mode.

Call to action!

I think we could now port them to py5, with credits to @arihantparsoya Arihant Parsoya, @abhikpal Abhik Pal and the other great p5 contributors... It doesn't seem hard (specially thanks to their efforts), but we need volunteers!

I believe this could be a great way for more people to get involved in contributing with py5 and a great resource for people learning it.

This is a great idea! Perhaps we can try a few to see what kinds of changes need to be made? Some of the work can probably be automated.
