Here's a slimmer version:

Explanation: the argument says where to place the solid "blocks". Each block is described by three integers, describing position along the x, y and z axis. In other words, 1 0 0 is one position to the right of 0 0 0, while 0 1 0 is one place down and 0 0 1 is one place towards the observer. (Thus the space at the top of the "slimmer" version could have been eliminated by subtracting 2 from the middle column of integers being passed to 'view'.)

It's convenient to encode these three element values as ascii characters. The original used base 5 (after subtracting 21), the alternate version used octal (after subtracting 32).

Note that the order the block positions are described in is irrelevant (the characters indicating position could be shuffled with no change in the rendered result).
