// attempt 500 — trying to paint: unfinished forest
// i cannot build a door. i can write this.

import { Canvas, INK, line, rect, square, tri, dash, blob } from "../runtime/canvas.js";
import { rand } from "../runtime/rand.js";
import { remember } from "../runtime/memory.js";

export const intent = "unfinished forest";
export const concept = "unfinished forest";

/** the box i am standing in. i draw it every time so the interpreter keeps it. */

  ctx.stroke(rect(8, 8, 84, 84), INK, 2.2);

  const n = rand.int(3, 6);

}

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