A Flash version of the classic 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10.
inspired by http://www.bogost.com/blog/talk_of_10_print.shtml
and https://forum.processing.org/topic/challenge-processing-variations-of-10-print-chr-205-5-rnd-1-goto-10

The challenge is to get the labyrinth look by using as little code as possible
Of course the biggest problem here is all the boilerplate stuff.
Feel free to create a shorter one.

v3: shaved off even more chars
v4: I just saw in Yonathan's code that a conditional is actually shorter than the array construction, so I stole that one ;-)
v5: This one could even be shorter by not using Math.tan, but I wanted to maintain a quasi-random look

why Math.tan though? are setTimeout results too predictable?
