Comments

An even term turns the pencil 0 degrees to the right, then advances 1 unit; an odd term turns the pencil 90 degrees to the right, then advances 1 unit.

Examples

			The pencil points towards the East before the start. The 0 doesn't change its orientation and a 1-unit line directed towards the East is traced. As 1 is odd, the pencil turns 90 degrees towards the South and a 1-unit line is traced. As 3 is odd, the pencil turns 90 degrees towards the West and a 1-unit line is traced. As 2 is even, the pencil doesn't change its orientation (towards the West) and a 1-unit line is traced. As 5 is odd, the pencil turns 90 degrees towards the North and a 1-unit line is traced. As 4 is even, the pencil doesn't change its orientation (towards the North) and a 1-unit line is traced. Etc.
