Examples

This program turns the input backwards and then outputs it.

 @     
  o     
 - @ |   
  . | - 
   . v
    . ?

This program types out the entire alphabet.

 $                           | | . |
  $                         @ o . . - ? |
   $             = = =     -       @   < @
  $   * *       = = = $     $     -   -   @
   * * * =     @       $   $       $   $   @
    *     =   @         $ $         $ $     -
         =   @           $           $     @
        =   @                             @
       =   @                             @
    | =   -                             @
   @ =     @                           @
  -         -                         @
