The dots are supposed to keep moving till they hit something then 
change direction.

Using DotsLogicType.solid the move at first, but then stop moving 
once they hit something.

What supposed to happen: First they check left or right 
(depending on the dir.x is negative or positive). If no dots hit 
anything then move the whole dot group, otherwise change 
direction x variable. Do the same again, but with up and down.

```d
module freedots;

import jart;

     Vector2 pos, dir;
     Color col;
     Vector2 wpos;
     bool hit;
     bool hitx, hity; // old

     Vector2 logic(in DotsLogicType dotsLogicType, int hrd, ref 
char[][] hitMap, in RenderTexture canvas) {
         Vector2 result;
         final switch(dotsLogicType) with(DotsLogicType) {
             case none:
             break;
             case solid:
                 // mixin(tce("hrd dir.x dir.y".split));
                 // look horrisontal
                 if (hrd==0)
                     if (pos.x+dir.x>=canvas.texture.width || 
pos.x+dir.x<0 || 

                         hit=true;

Here's YouTube video that gives an idea of what my grouped dots 
can do. https://youtu.be/t5EYeV4BYzU?si=bcpGYwYIX2ecfa9Q
