part 'model/memory.dart';
part 'view/board.dart';

The Board view needs to know about Memory. So, we will include it in the Board class and make its object in the Board constructor:

new Board(canvas, new Memory(4));

The Memory class is still very rudimentary with only its length property:

class Memory {
  num length;
  Memory(this.length);
}

Our Board class now also needs a method to draw the lines, which we decided to make private because it is specific to Board, as well as the methods clear() and border():

void draw() {
    _clear();
    _border();
    _lines();
}
