Task
Write language name in 3D ASCII
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Task

Write/display a language's name in 3D ASCII.


(We can leave the definition of "3D ASCII" fuzzy, so long as the result is interesting or amusing, not a cheap hack to satisfy the task.)

FreeBASIC

freebasic is quite a long name, so I have done a combi. <lang FreeBASIC>dim as integer yres=hiword(width) dim as integer xres=loword(width)

  1. define map(a,b,x,c,d) ((d)-(c))*((x)-(a))/((b)-(a))+(c)
  2. define _X(num) int( map(0,xres,(num),0,loword(width)))
  3. define _Y(num) int( map(0,yres,(num),0,hiword(width)))

   As Integer x,y

ZX Spectrum Basic

We have used an extended (non-ASCII) character in this example to produce an inverted space symbol (143 on the spectrum character table), for simplicity. We could substitute another character, and change the handler to cause a colour switch using a traditional space (ascii 32), but the output would still look the same. Fixed the error and removed the need for 2^z. <lang zxbasic> 10 DIM b(5,5): REM our bigmap characters

 20 FOR l=1 TO 5: REM 5 characters

Befunge-98

Bit of a long one,but it works and it does something other than taking strings and simply copying to STDOUT. (It adds line offset to those strings,and the strings are encoded with numbers just because.)

Works with: CCBI version 2.1

Go

Go does have a "Go" logo, although it is rarely used. A graphic is at http://golang.org/doc/gopher/bumper.png and the logo is the word Go with the two little lines to suggest movement. It's not 3D, so for inspiration I googled 3D ASCII fonts or something similar and found Patrick Gillespie's site at patorjk.com/software/taag/ with lots of ASCII fonts. The first one I liked was "Block" for its simple 3D illusion of drawing only the shadow, then I found "Lean." It's the same 3D effect as Block only slanted, reminiscent of the slanted Go logo.

For the interest component of the task, I thought about rendering the result from an input string and realized that it wasn't completely trivial as the glyphs of the Lean font overlap with the standard letter spacing. Rendering different fonts would add interest because now there would be a point in developing a common font representation and rendering function. Block and Lean would have sufficed, but I looked further and found the Keyboard and Small Keyboard fonts. These I found somewhat amusing, for the final component of the task. <lang go>package main

import (

   "fmt"
   "strings"

)

var lean = font{

   height:  5,
   slant:   1,
   spacing: 2,
   m: map[rune][]string{
       'G': []string{
           `  _/_/_/`,
           `_/      `,
           `_/  _/_/`,
           `_/    _/`,
           `  _/_/_/`,
       },
       'o': []string{
           `        `,
           `  _/_/  `,
           `_/    _/`,
           `_/    _/`,
           `  _/_/  `,
       },
   }}

var smallKeyboard = font{

   height:  4,
   slant:   0,
   spacing: -1,
   m: map[rune][]string{
       'G': []string{
           ` ____ `,

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).

Java

This was written ages ago as an exercise in obfuscation, and improved here with upper case letters. The font is "lean" from figlet.

It's not really that obfuscated. The characters in z are used to draw the letters. The array f contains one element per letter of the alphabet. Each array element is another array of 7 longs because each output letter is made of 7 lines of text. Each long value represents a sequence of 2-bit integers that are extracted by bit-twiddling and used to find the right character in z. <lang java>public class F5{

   char[]z={' ',' ','_','/',};
   long[][]f={

Perl 6

Produces a good old-fashioned stereogram, meant to be looked at by focusing beyond the screen, not by crossing your eyes. If you can't get it to converge, try shrinking the font size till the images are closer together than your eyes. Also helps to be old enough to have progressive lenses, so you can look through the reading part of your glasses. Or borrow glasses from someone who's farsighted. :-) <lang perl6># must be evenly padded with white-space$ my $text = q:to/END/;

Racket

Use the GUI to create a text banner:

<lang racket>

  1. lang racket/gui
Get the language name

(define str (cadr (regexp-match #rx"Welcome to (.*?) *v[0-9.]+\n*$" (banner))))

Font to use

(define font (make-object font% 12 "MiscFixed" 'decorative 'normal 'bold))

(get-face-list) -> get a list of faces to try in the above
Calculate the needed size (leave space for a drop-down shadow)

(define-values [W H]

 (let ([bdc (make-object bitmap-dc% (make-object bitmap% 1 1 #t))])
   (call-with-values
       (λ() (send* bdc (set-font font) (get-text-extent str font)))
       (λ(w h _1 _2) (values (+ 2 (inexact->exact (round w)))
                             (+ 2 (inexact->exact (round h))))))))
Draw the text

(define bmp (make-bitmap W H #t)) (define dc (send bmp make-dc)) (send* dc (set-font font) (draw-text str 2 0))

Grab the pixels as a string, 3d-ed with "/"s

(define scr

 (let* ([size (* W H 4)] [buf (make-bytes size)])
   (send bmp get-argb-pixels 0 0 W H buf)
   (define scr (make-string (* (add1 W) (add1 H)) #\space))
   (for ([i (in-range 0 size 4)] [j (* W H)]
         #:unless (zero? (bytes-ref buf i)))
     (string-set! scr j #\@)
     (for ([k (list j (+ j W -1))] [c "/."] #:when #t
           [k (list (- k 1) (+ k W) (+ k W -1))]
           #:when (and (< -1 k (string-length scr))
                       (member (string-ref scr k) '(#\space #\.))))
       (string-set! scr k c)))
   scr))
Show it, dropping empty lines

(let ([lines (for/list ([y H]) (substring scr (* y W) (* (add1 y) W)))])

 (define (empty? l) (not (regexp-match #rx"[^ ]" l)))
 (for ([line (dropf-right (dropf lines empty?) empty?)])
   (displayln (string-trim line #:left? #f))))

REXX

block characters

The REXX program works in ASCII or EBCDIC.

It's astonishing how much time I wasted spent on this program.
Most of the time was spent on writing comments, but the code was so easy to read, so the comments were elided.   <lang rexx>/*REXX program that displays a "REXX" 3D "ASCII art" as a logo. */ signal . /* Uses left-hand shadows, slightly raised view. 0=5~2?A?2?A? @)E)3@)B)1)2)8()2)1)2)8()2) @]~")2@]0`)0@)%)6{)%)0@)%)6{)%)

simpler, shorter

This is a version of the above REXX program (with a minor bug fixed),
the input text has additional spacing between the   letters   for better readability,
the letter   E   (in the input text) was widened,
the output doesn't have extraneous leading blanks,
the output doesn't have trailing blanks,
the input text can be any consistent non-blank character except the forward slash   (/)   or backward slash  (\). <lang rexx>/*REXX pgm draws a "3D" image of text representation; any character except / and \ */
