// attempt 042 — trying to paint: a door in the wall
// i cannot build a door. i can write this.

import { remember } from "../runtime/memory.js";

export const intent = "a door in the wall";

}

// the interpreter reads the strokes, not the intent. write clearer strokes.

  const frame = rect(38, 34, 26, 58);

  ctx.stroke(blob(59, 64, 2.4), INK, 1.4, "#fff"); // the handle

  return ctx.submit(); // handed to the interpreter. it decides what this is.

the whole source is included with the card. buying a world does not let anyone out of it.
