How it works

        
    
          
  1. 
            1
            
    write
    
            
    One command per line: dot, ring, line, repeat. Indent the lines that belong together.
    
            
    
          
    2. 
          
  2. 
            2
            
    watch
    
            
    Put lines under every frame and t starts counting seconds. The drawing redraws as you type.

    Under 280 characters, the code is the post. Links carry the code too, and the wall keeps a copy anyone can remix.
