To my mere untrained Layman's eye, this does not look like a sphere. If anything, I'd say, it looks like a butt.[[User:Sgeier|Sgeier]] 16:37, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
: well, it says "animated".. so if you animate the butt, maybe it looks more like a sphere. would be nice if somebody could paste a better picture. --[[User:Oenone|Oenone]] 12:58, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Or, you could do it at the PureBasic version. E.g. animate the drawing of the sphere and thereby make it more clear to the user that is is indeed a 3D object presented on the Screen --[[User:Jofur|<Jofur>]] 05:28, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

: We all know that earth's moon is a sphere. &nbsp; But because of the lighting (by our sun), it does not look round (except during a full moon), but rather, it looks/appears like a crescent most of the time. &nbsp; I think that <strike>all</strike> most of the "ASCII-art" renderings are a depiction of a sphere using a light source (above and to the viewer's left). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 20:02, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

... And for some perspective levity on the perspective of the perspective:
 
Without a light source, here are six views: &nbsp; a front &amp; back, top &amp; bottom, left &amp; right views of a small sphere against a light background:
