The alphabet in programming languages

P is (actually) for Piet - 57 codels

Large version (codel size = 6)

Small version (codel size = 1)

Tested with Erik's piet interpreter npiet and developed with Piet Creator.

Edit: Here is a "trace" version (generated with npiet -tpf) so you can see how it works.

Execution starts in the top left and goes around the border clockwise. The top edge and right edge are setup (calculating the value of a (97) takes quite a few codels). The loop starts on the bottom edge and goes to the left edge. When the value of z is reached the program turns right into the cross section under the first P and terminates.
