as to this loop as i said i had no ide how to make indexes like i
in this form but what comes to my mind now is maybe something lika


10'print("x")

10i'print(i)


480y' 640x' set_pixel(x,y, 0xffff00)

those i,x,y  in loop 'headers' could be possibly subscripted
like 2 in typical H20 (2 is subscripted

eventually one can go

10'  print((x 0)++)

where x 0 is initialisation of int x to zero
