Do you mean an asset, or an assert?

One is a file that contains data your program might use.

The other is a check to make sure some condition is true.

In that case, the asset is probably an image file that can be used as a texture. Many programs exist that can make image files. Processing can do it with the `save()` function. See here: [save() \ Language (API) \ Processing 3+](https://processing.org/reference/save_.html)

Without more details about what you are specifically trying to do, it’s unlikely anyone can help you more.

Yeah, broad question here

You can draw textures in MS Paint or wherever

Check out [https://opengameart.org/](https://opengameart.org/)

you can load any image or sound in processing and use as texture
