Snail Trail

Al Sweigart, 2024. Snails gliding across the screen.

Snails glide across the screen in this one-dimensional, or 1D, scroll art. By "printing" the \b backspace character, the program can erase previously printed text on the current line. It prints the @V snail ASCII art, erases it with two backspaces, and then continues to draw a longer and longer trail.
