Whose turn?

What we are doing

At the top, a message says whose turn it is: Red's turn or Yellow's turn.

```js
ctx.fillStyle = 'white'
ctx.font = 'bold 18px sans-serif'
ctx.textAlign = 'center'
let message = turn === 1 ? "Red's turn" : "Yellow's turn"
ctx.fillText(message, canvas.width / 2, 26)
```

What it means

• font sets the letters, textAlign = 'center' makes x the middle of the text, fillText(text, x, y) paints it.
• message is chosen with ? :. The texts use double quotes because they contain a single quote.

Your turn

At the end of draw, after the loops, leave an empty line and write the five lines.
