Important Notes

  • Always set color (c) and pen size before drawing

  • Use goto to position the pen before drawing

  • Pen properties (size, opacity, brightness) affect all subsequent drawing operations

  • The coordinate system is centered (0,0 is in the middle of the window)

  • Positive Y is up, negative Y is down

  • Import "win-buttons" to show window controls when needed
