:Heh it does look better in my xterm, but looks terrible in the browser. I think firefox decided to use some proportional font for those wide chars because my default monospace font doesn't have them. Also, the first cuboid still doesn't look anywhere near 2x3x4 :) --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 01:00, 17 June 2011 (UTC) |

Revision as of 11:43, 17 June 2011
What about those of us without 3D displays? (What about those of us with them? :-)) What are we supposed to actually do here? If we're projecting onto a surface, should that projection be static or permit rotation of the object or motion of the field of view? What is the output supposed to look like (attach a screenshot…) –Donal Fellows 13:18, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
The task is to draw a cuboid within the language capabilities. A 3D dislay is not required here. The cubiod can be represented graphically, or in ascii art, depending on the language capabilities. As long as we have three faces visible, then I think that fulfils the criteria of being a cuboid. Either static or rotational projection is acceptable for this task. The examples provided so far seem to fulfil this criteria.

- Because of the textual nature of RC and the web in general, I suggest the task be "render (some object) as three dimensional ASCII art".
- I think it'd be fun if (some object) be (your language's name)
but that's because we Jers happen to have such a solution already, that I would like to advertise. (Also because "J" looks cool in 3D. :)

Yeah, that looked good. I moved that to a separate task, because it went beyond drawing of a cuboid.

The PicoLisp version needs to be translated to C or Java.
So...what about those of use who don't ASCII terminals, but only Unicode terminals? :-) I've intentionally put some FULLWIDTH chars into the perl6 solution because it looks better. It doesn't seem quite right to refer to Unicode art as ASCII art anymore, so I suggest we start retiring the term ASCII art in favor of Unicode art. --TimToady 00:55, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
