Thanks to Cheddai Fouche for the above implementation.
The core logic is in the "go" function which is passed to unfoldr.
And here is an implementation of generalized Bresenham's line drawing algorithm, in terms of balanced words: https://github.com/LambdaHack/LambdaHack/blob/2f031f8a09d07d46b8e0dfeff1d9653d31ea19cc/Game/LambdaHack/Common/Point.hs#L112
