[lina_trinch]

So you've probably noticed on this comm, that I have a message pinned at the top about coding requests. It looks all fancy and is there to catch the eye. In fact, you've probably noticed similar things on other comms and journals.

Anyway, let's go ahead and get started. There's a surprising amount to it.

However! This guide at w3schools will cover all of the basics. You'll learn about how to make them, how angles work, repeating patterns, transparency, and linear/radial shapes.

In here, we're going to cover a few other things.
