How it works

It should be noted that even we are still trying to figure out how it works.

Each element has forks, or rather it's available actions. For each of these actions a child image needs to be provided (ie 2 forks requires 2 images). Some of the elements also require siblings (objects defined defined alongside it or above) and others require specific children.

There are also several terms that you'll come across a lot in here

• default: is when it's neither of the below
• hovering: is when your cursor is hovering over the element
• Selected: is when you clicked the element, this continues to be true as long as you hold the button
