Hi I am really new to processing and I am trying to create a Rubik’s cube simulator with the 3D API. However, when creating an app it just doesn’t make one.  
Here is the code:

```auto
def setup():
  size(480, 480, P3D)

def draw():
    beginShape(POINTS)
    vertex(20,20,0)
    vertex(20,100,0)
    vertex(100,100,0)
    vertex(100,20,0)
    endShape()

```

When I run it nothing happens  
Thanks Daniel

Just FYI I’m just trying to make a square here

It still doesn’t do anything, doesn’t even open a window. Is absolutely fine 2D but as soon as I make it 3D it doesn’t work.

Hello @Daniel11,

It worked with Processing 3.5.4 in Python mode:

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/processingfoundation1/original/3X/7/0/70e415e491d006caab77fd3cc56f1549dbf3339b.png)

I also “get nothing” with Processing 4.0b8 in in Python mode… no drawing canvas.

Reference:

> **[beginShape() \\ Language (API)](https://py.processing.org/reference/beginShape.html)**
>
> Python Mode for Processing extends the Processing Development Environment with the Python programming language.
