|---|---|---|---|---|
| value (Can change over time) | number | 23 | 0 to 1000000000000 | how many there are; give a follower of the counter, (v) => v, to make it grow with the filmCan change over time |
| per | integer | 1 | 1 to 1000000000 | how many things one mark stands for to begin with; it grows by ten when the grid is full |
| glyph | choice | dot | dot, square, bolt, star, person, tick | the mark: a dot, a square, a lightning bolt, a star, a person or a plain tick |
| thing | text | strikes | – to 24 | what is counted, in the plural, written after the total |
| singular | text | – | – to 24 | the word for exactly one; empty drops the plural's final s |
| label | text | – | – to 40 | a word over the marks; empty for none |
| columns | integer | 10 | 4 to 40 | marks in a row; a wider gap marks each group of five |
| rows | integer | 3 | 1 to 10 | rows of marks; stars, bolts and people hold fewer in all (about 14, 20, 20), so a big grid is trimmed |

| ink | color | #f3f0e8 | – | its words, numbers, ticks and outlines |
| accent | color | #4fb8e8 | – | the marks |
| warn | color | #ff6b4a | – | danger, a value past a limit |
