Example

Here's a simple "Hello World" example to get you started with akesi lili:

s={text:''}

# Initialize the game data
export init = ||
 s.text = "Hello, World!"

# Draw the game on the screen
export draw = ||
 # Clear the screen with color 0
 clear(0);

 # Draw the text at position (10, 10) with color 3
 txt(s.text, 10, 10, 3);

In this example:

• The init function sets up the initial game state by storing the text "Hello, World!" in the state object s.
