Choropleth
- This article is not detailed enough and needs to be expanded. Please help us by adding some more information.
Choropleth is a type of codepage designed for cell-oriented execution model based on angles and interval arithmetic.
Codepage
The alphabet is reduced and is intended for pseudo-natural interpretations of convention, aka transliteration.
(
| [G | T | ? | C |
| h | q | z | 0 |
| i | r | a | 1 |
| j | s | b | 2 |
| k | t | c | 3 |
| l | u | d | 4 |
| m | v | e | 5 |
| n | w | f | 6 |
| o | x | g | 7 |
| P | y | . | [8, 9] |
)
in the example given @Choropleth/korean, only the numbers are transliterated. The full map @ Choropleth/색地図 is then used once a basis arithmetic has been developed via Choropleth/map.
Commands
In interpreted Choropleth the ( represents a right thumb holding a slip of paper and the ) represents the left thumb.
| command | meaning |
|---|---|
| . | prints (at . until escape) |
| \ | print-escape (stops drawing) |
| ( | Nudge right thumb left |
| { | Nudge right thumb right |
| ) | Nudge left thumb right |
| } | Nudge left thumb left |
Nudges are 5° (0.0872665 radians) per instruction
