Show HN: FizzBuzz in an esoteric programming language.
I've been contemplating applying for HackerSchool, so I was looking at the application and saw the piece about FizzBuzz. I'd somehow never heard of this before. It is a trivial task in a conventional language, so I thought I would have some fun on a long internet-less train ride back to Rochester.

Doesn't it look kinda beautiful? http://benbrittain.com/imgs/fizzbuzzLarge.png
here is a picture of the execution so you can see what is actually code. http://benbrittain.com/imgs/trace.png
to the best of my knowledge, I'm the first person to write FizzBuzz by hand in Piet. (one guy built a code generator)
