Parnic 30bdd9b016 Explain and implement logic
Programs coded into a machine that runs a program that's coded into a machine that runs a program. I think this is how Javascript got invented or something.

// in problem terms, that's: if there's a hole at 1 or 2 ahead, and there's a hole at C with ground at H, and there's ground at D.
// so now for the above example we'd wait to jump until here:
// @
// #####.#.##.##.###
