Everything's processed pretty much sequentially. If you treat every item as a list, it draws an arrow from one thing to another. Awesome.

But what if you want something cooler? Say, conditionals. Yeah. those are cool. So if you have that, you need my magical notation which involves lots of indentation.

Home?
	Oh noes, the condition's answer was No
	This has an arrow pointing from the thing above
Yaay, the answer was yes
Stuff that follows...

Ellipse'd elements end with periods.

Also, this is how you'd run it:

cat algorithm.pseudo | python parser.py | dot -Tsvg > blah.svg

n < maxitems ?
Do Something
Exit

The graph draws an arrow for one of the conditions only, either True, but it fails to draw the false arrow

This code is amazing, Please Tell How to write "switch case" statement.

Hey, great code. Thanks for sharing. I converted this code into Javascript and based on WebGraphiViz. So it's now able to run independently on a web browser. Go ahead and try it.
