If someone is interested in building something like this but don't know where to start I would suggest https://natureofcode.com/

It's targeted towards beginners and uses a JS library but the ideas presented are general

Nature of code sounds like a book about code as such.

Would have expected to be the other way around: the code of nature

I think your intuition was correct, it is generally (but not entirely) about modeling behaviors from the physical world with code (for art rather than science).

Highly recommend
