`zug x < 10` ... `unga`	while the check is gronk
`zoop thing in pile` ... `unga`	once per thing in a pile or text

Clumps (functions)

clump name(a, b)
    oga a
    ork a + b
unga

oga name(1, 2)

Piles (lists)

Write this	It does
`snorf(1, 2, 3)`	make a pile
`snorf()`	empty pile
`plop(pile, x)`	add x to the end
`nom(x)`	how many
`pile[0]`	first thing (spots start at 0)
`pile[-1]`	last thing
`skoop(pile, 2)`	same as `pile[2]`
`yoink(pile)`	take the last thing off
`pile[1] = 9`	change a spot
`x in pile`	is x inside?

Text

shout(t) whisper(t) flip(t) find(t, piece) split(t, sep) join(pile, sep) goop(x) nom(t) skoop(t, i) t[i]

Numbers

round(x) flat(x) roof(x) abs(x) small(a,b) big(a,b) root(x) pow(a,b) munga(a,b) numba(text)

Drawing

Write this	It does
`skrib size 400, 400`	set picture size
`skrib color "red"`	pick a color (names or `"#ff8800"`)
`skrib dot x, y, r`	filled circle
`skrib circle x, y, r`	outline circle
`skrib line x1, y1, x2, y2`	a line
`skrib box x, y, w, h`	outline rectangle
`skrib blob x, y, w, h`	filled rectangle

The shape of a program

ugg notes at the top
grunk boxes...
clump helpers...
ugg the actual work
booga / binga / zoop blocks
oga answers
