Example

struct shape
    string name
    int sides
    int size
    vector pos
    int col
endStruct

shape shapes[3]
shapes[0] = [ .name = "triangle", .sides=3, .size=150, .pos = { 400, 150 }, .col = red ]
shapes[1] = [ .name = "square",   .sides=4, .size=150, .pos = { 400, 500 }, .col = yellow ]
shapes[2] = [ .name = "pentagon", .sides=5, .size=150, .pos = { 800, 150 }, .col = blue ]
shapes[3] = [ .name = "hexagon",  .sides=6, .size=150, .pos = { 800, 500 }, .col = green ]
