02How it's drawn

The recipe for mail

Mail is not stored as a drawing. It is a recipe of 1 rectangle and 1 polyline on a 24 by 24 grid, and a small program draws it like a pencil would. The wobble comes from the name, so it always comes out the same.

Pass a seed for another take of the same recipe. The wobble is capped, so it still reads at 16 px.
