Draw the flags

What we are doing

A hidden flagged cell shows a 🚩.

```js
} else {
  ctx.fillStyle = '#94a3b8'
  ctx.fillRect(x + 1, y + 1, CELL - 2, CELL - 2)
  if (cell.flagged) ctx.fillText('🚩', x + CELL / 2, y + CELL / 2 + 1)
}
```

What it means

• In the hidden-cell branch, a flag is written in the middle of the square.

Your turn

In the else block of the cell loop, under its fillRect, write the flag line. Press Run and right-click cells.
