This section examines a set of simple variations in the ''10 Print'' one-liner, each drawing on different graphic characters from the PETSCII table. Although each change is small, every variation has a significant impact on the perceived maze-like qualities of the visual output. The output of ''10 Print'' has a unique visual appeal, which we can understand in terms of design and composition (diagonal vs orthogonal), and in terms of how it plays against the contextual expectations of the historical period when it emerged (graphical software -- particularly video games of the era). | This section examines a set of simple variations in the ''10 Print'' one-liner, each drawing on different graphic characters from the PETSCII table.
