Example

Level 72

Level 72 in Calculator: The Game:

$ ctgplay s=0 e=28 m=7 o=+6 o=-3 o=rev 'o=<<'

Output:

[
  '+6', '+6',
  '<<', '+6',
  '+6', 'rev',
  '-3'
]

which means

s=>start: 0
o1=>operation: +6
o2=>operation: +6
o3=>operation: <<
o4=>operation: +6
o5=>operation: +6
o6=>operation: rev
o7=>operation: -3
e=>end: 28

s(right)->o1(right)->o2(right)->o3(right)->o4(right)->o5(right)->o6(right)->o7(right)->e

Level 52

$ ctgplay s=25 e=4 m=5 o=-4 'o=*-4' o=/3 o=/8 o=+/-

Output:

[ '-4', '/3', '-4', '-4', '*-4' ]

Level 36

Level 36 in Calculator: The Game:

$ ctgplay s=0 e=-85 m=4 o=+6 o=5 o=-7

Output:
