02How it's drawn

The recipe for pencil

Pencil is not stored as a drawing. It is a recipe of 1 closed shape and 1 line 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.

Z 16.5 3.5 20.5 7.5 8 20 3.5 20.5 4 16;

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