hostile snakes

hostile snakes is an esolang created by User:Yayimhere. hostile snakes is a 2d self modifying esolang with ladders. dont worry about the name, its just an overcomplicated pun

how it works

the pointer starts at lower right corner, and moves around on ladders like this:

• if it is at the bottom move to top
• same but reversed for top
• if somewhere between it will move up and move the ladder to the right
• they function the same sideways but rotated 90 degrees

it will move up the nearest ladder(right priority), but if theres none in a fifteen cell radius, it will split into two pointer one on left most ladder, one on rightmost. if two pointers land on each other the program halts. a ladder is this:

=|
=|
=|-- this is the ladder

yea. thats it
