Imagine it's 1982 and you've just sat down in front of your Commodore 64. As you stare at the television set attached to this small computer-in-a-keyboard object, you see the word "READY" and a blinking cursor. Earlier in the day a "neat little program" on page 53 of the manual caught your eye: 

 10 PRINT "{SHIFT-CLR/HOME}"
 20 PRINT CHR$(205.5 + RND(1));
 40 GOTO 20

After you carefully type it, you input "run". The screen erupts with motion and characters flow onto the screen. When each row fills with symbols, it starts drawing on the next line. When the screen is full, the entire maze moves up and leaves space at the bottom for new characters to fill.
