The gallows

What we are doing

Three more lines finish the gallows: the post, the beam and the short rope.

```js
function draw() {
  // ...
  line(40, 270, 220, 270)
  line(80, 270, 80, 50)
  line(80, 50, 170, 50)
  line(170, 50, 170, 90)
```

What it means

• The post goes up from the ground at x = 80 (y shrinks going up).
• The beam goes right from the top of the post.
• The rope hangs down from the end of the beam to y = 90, where the head will be.

Your turn

In draw, under line(40, 270, 220, 270), write the three lines. Press Run.
