Contributions summary:Maxim primarily contributed to the Quil project by adding new features and tests for the ClojureScript implementation. They added support for image processing functions, shape drawing primitives, and control over the sketch's size and renderer. Additionally, the user integrated support for mouse events, keyboard events, and various environment functions, including the ability to load and display images. These changes improved the feature parity between the Clojure and ClojureScript versions of Quil.
