touchStarted()
The `touchStarted()` function detects when the user first touches the screen on mobile devices or touch-enabled devices. Creative coders use this function to create interactive art that responds to touch, allowing users to engage with their creations in a tactile way. For example, you could use `touchStarted()` to change colors or shapes on a canvas as soon as the user touches the screen, creating a dynamic experience that invites exploration.
