`Source Code in sketch.py`  
My python program (shortest path using a star), worked fine in previous releases of p5py. (As shown in gif in github page [ignore lag, peek gif recorder problem])  
But after updating python(3.7.x → 3.8.3) and p5py(0.6 -\>0.7.1), app first started crashing. Then found error in line 37(that never existed before). After fixing that, the app runs WAY SLOWER than before. Please help. Thank you :3

Can you try this out with the new p5py versions? Do try out the new `skia` renderer for better sketches.
