Roll cake phrases

Question

Roll cakes are delicious sweets made with a layer of sponge cake, a layer of cream (or icecream), rolled as a spiral, see Wikipedia.

Your task is to get a non-empty phrase string from standard input, strip the spaces out, and roll it as a roll cake starting from the center in right to left in a counterclockwise direction, while the spaces starts at the bottom of the first phrase character, from the center left to right, as in the following example.

Please note that the phrase will be the layer of sponge cake and the cream layer will be represented as empty spaces.

Input: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetu adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod

Output with spaces ' ' represented as _

The basic idea is that we build up the spiral in the lower half of the playfield, keeping tracking of the min and max coordinates as we go along. Once all the input has been processed, we iterate over the range of coordinates and write out the content that was saved.

Detailed Explanation

Note that the dx and dy values are in the range 0 to 3, corresponding to the relative offsets -1, 0, 1, 0. Updating the direction is thus done by adding 1, modulo 4. Converting to a relative offset is done by subtracting 1, modulo 2.

"'"::00p09p19p      Set x, minx, and maxx to 39.
35*::10p29p39p      Set y, miny, and maxy to 15.
020p130p            Set dx to 0 (relative offset -1) and dy to 1 (relative offset 0).
140p                Set the segment length to 1.
0                   Set the index to 0 (on the stack).

  ::19g`8+1\p       If it's greater than maxx, update maxx.
  20g1-2%           Calculate (dx-1)%2, which converts dx into the range -1 to 1.
  +00p              Add that to x and save (leaving the original x on the stack).
  10g:              Get the currrent value of y and make a duplicate.  
  ::29g\`8+2\p      If it's less than miny, update miny.
  ::39g`8+3\p       If it's greater than maxy, update maxy.
  30g1-2%           Calculate (dy-1)%2, which converts dy into the range -1 to 1.
  +10p              Add that to y and save (leaving the original y on the stack).
  p                 Store the character we read at the original x,y coordinates.
  1+                Increment the index by 1.
  :40g%!            Mod that with the current segment len; if zero it's time to turn.
  :20g+4%20p        Add the turn condition to the dx value, thus turning if needed.
  :30g+4%30p        Similarly add the turn condition to the dy value.
  :40g+40p          Also add it to the segment length, so it gets longer every turn.
  !*                Multiply the index by !turn, so it's reset to zero on every turn.
