Heloo. I managed to generate a square on the monitor, but I want it to 
move alone on the monitor. do you have any idea how I should write the 
process?

- Make the coordinates for your square change over time.
- Bonus: Detect when your square collides with the screen boundaries and 
invert the moving direction of x or y accordingly.

break down you problem into smaller pieces. don't try to move a square, 
instead try to move a single pixel...

Its not the problem of how to write "the process". Maybe you don't need 
an additional process at all. Or maybe you need 4 more processes. That 
depends on how the code looks now...

It goes more to the deep: how do you generate a picture on the screen? 
and how do you generate a square in that picture? And what parameters 
determine the position of the square? And how can you make those 
parameters variable?
