X n-+g+aa0g+9a2c!v
There's unprintables in there, namely:
- After the
X
is\x06\t
- After the
c
is\x03
The same part of source code is run each time, using g
on two parts of the source code to determine what to subtract from 12.
v Make IP move downwards
!\x03 Jump over the \x03
c Push 12
2a9+g Get the char at position (2, 19), i.e. the \t for
3 o'clock, the \x03 for 9 o'clock, 0 otherwise
0aa+g Get the char at position (0, 20), i.e. first char on
the line after the X, \x06 for 6 o'clock
+ Add
- Subtract from the 12
n Output as number
\t Unrecognised instruction - errors out
12 o'clock | 3 o'clock | 6 o'clock | 9 o'clock (looks misaligned due to the tab)
