10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10.

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.
