Going through the guidebook, anyone would know the difference between the graphician and the coder roles in making a demo? I’ve done a bit of Processing and P5js and these two roles seem to me to be overlapping, aren’t they? As you’re coding the graphics.

Is the difference the same as Web Designer vs. Web Developer in a more familiar context?

I think that's a made up word that just means a graphics artist.

Then again, for things like C64 picture formats, you need to work within the various limitations and the cheat programming one can use to extend the palettes and forcing badlines more frequently and so on which makes the artist need a lot of programming skills too.
