Description:
The inner loop pokes the character 42 at start position 1225 and increments the distance "A" (READ from DATA) to the next position "P" of each symbol of one rhombus.
The outer loop repeats this three times for each rhombus while correcting the position by -237 and another loop for the three rows by correcting position +222 to get the output at the right place.
Comments:
Aside of a short code, my goal was to avoid a more complex mathematical algorithm for the drawing. :-)
