    Labels are terminated by >. Programs begin at START>.: separates commands on the same line. n represents a single digit number.

    Example:

    •ALPHA
    ROB> =R:XL:GROB
    WAL> =W:T1:GWAL
    START> CROB:CWAL:F8:=?:T1
    GSTART

    The example begins at START> and calls ROB which fires the laser if a robot is in range. Next it calls WAL which turns the robot 45° if it's heading towards a wall. Next the robot is moved forward 8. Finally =?:T1 randomly performs a 45° turn.
