Found this esoteric programming language called AsciiDots. It treats data, represented by periods, like rats running around a maze. The program above, for example, prints out square numbers. The first link lets you visualize the path the data takes through the program.

Here's a more compressed version of it:

.
|/-\ /-----\
#|[+]*<1#-.|
1|//  \----/
\>*{*}$#   
  \-/

Doesn't it make you feel powerful, watching your creations scurry around on your computer screen, knowing they're prisoners to the walls of the program until you get bored and turn it off?
