How might I make a custom item-moving entity?

Say I want to make something like an inserter or a splitter, but a different shape or functionality. Is there enough functionality exposed to do that? Can someone point me in the right direction?

I'd probably start by taking the base inserter and adjusting the parameters and experimenting a bit to see if it can fit your needs. What sort of thing are you looking to do?

I want to make a splitter that spits things at a 90 degree angle, instead of two parallel paths.

Or a 90 degree inserter.

I belive there was an Inserter mod that did exactly that. I'm not sure if it is still updated.
