Well suppose you have an update every half second or so, which performs
the next command on the list, sort of like:
>n,n,e,n,n | Your commands list now has 'n'->'n'->'e'->'n'->'n'
You walk north.
[half a second later].
You walk north.
[half a second later].
You walk east.
There an incredibly valuable diamond here.
>stop | Your commands list is cleared.You stop walking.
