The flag

What we are doing

The last piece is a goal. The F becomes a flagpole that reaches from row 3 down to the ground, so the player cannot miss it by jumping over it.

```js
let flag

      if (line[col] === 'F') flag = { x: x + 14, y: 3 * TILE, w: 4, h: y + TILE - 3 * TILE }

  ctx.fillStyle = '#e5e7eb'
  ctx.fillRect(flag.x, flag.y, flag.w, flag.h)
  ctx.fillStyle = '#22c55e'
  ctx.fillRect(flag.x + flag.w, flag.y, 24, 16)
```

What it means

• The pole is 4 pixels wide in the middle of its tile (14 in), from the top of row 3 to the bottom of the F tile: h = y + TILE - 3 * TILE.
• A light gray pole and a green 24×16 flag at its top right, in the world.

Your turn

1. Under let enemies write let flag.
2. In loadLevel, under the 'e' line, write the 'F' line.
3. In draw, above ctx.fillStyle = '#facc15', write the four flag lines and an empty line.
