square is                # everything "is" - there is no "run" or "do"
  rectangle              # this square is a rectangle. this means it uses a rectangle's rules for drawing
    width 400            # like width
    height 400           # and height. we have to specify both because it's a rectangle, square is just its name
    location (0, 0)      # it's at 0, 0 in the top left corner of the screen
  color white            # white is a magic word that equals a red of 1, green of 1, and blue of 1
  from top left          # draw from (or anchor at) the top left
  fill
    off                  # don't fill the shape. this is the default so it does not appear below

# we could also have done
# square is
#  square
#    width  400          # only need a width in this case

circle is
  ellipse                # this circle is an ellipse. it uses an ellipse's rules to draw
    size (250, 250)      # this is another way of showing height and width aka (width, height)
    location (125, 125)
  color (1, 1, 1)        # this is another way of showing a color (red, green, blue)
  from center            # this shape is anchored at the center. this is the default

# we could also have done
# circle is
#  circle
#    radius 350

triangle is
  shape                  # shapes are just a series of points. the language figures out drawing the sides
    3 points             # a shape has X points
      (100, 100)
      (125, 150)
      (150, 100)         # no need for width or height, it's implicit in the locations of the points
  color                  # this is another way of showing a color
    1                    # red
    1                    # green
    1                    # blue
