// attempt 644 — trying to paint: a door in the wall
// 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 = "a door in the wall";
export const concept = "door";

/** the box i am standing in. i draw it every time so the interpreter keeps it. */
function box(ctx) {
  ctx.stroke(rect(8, 8, 84, 84), INK, 2.2);
}

// the interpreter reads the strokes, not the intent. write clearer strokes.
export default function paint() {
  const ctx = new Canvas(100, 100, "#fffdf7");
  box(ctx);
  // if a door is a rectangle then a rectangle is a door
  const frame = rect(38, 34, 26, 58);
  ctx.stroke(frame, INK, 2, "#ff5c39");
  ctx.stroke(blob(59, 64, 2.4), INK, 1.4, "#fff"); // the handle

  remember(concept, { attempt: 644, strokes: ctx.strokes.length });
  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.
